- General
- Brand: Nikon
- Model Number: 1749
- Product Name: Z 30 4K Mirrorless Camera with NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Lens
- Color: Black
- Camera Model Family: Nikon Z 30
- Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera with Lens
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: APS-C (23.6 x 15.7 mm)
- Total Pixels: 21 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Digital Zoom: 1x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- In-Camera Image Stabilization: false (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Number of Autofocus Points (Up To): 209
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: 1/4000 – 30 sec. (step of 1/3 EV), bulb, time (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Minimum Aperture: f/6.3 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/3.5 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Minimum ISO: 100 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. When there is plenty of light, using the lowest ISO setting available will typically result in a higher quality image.)
- Maximum ISO: 51200 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. In low-light environments, using a higher ISO setting helps to capture a sharp, bright image.)
- Maximum Expandable ISO: 204800 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. Expandable ISO settings use software to simulate brighter images than the device's native ISO range is capable of capturing.)
- Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Burst Rate: 11 frames per second
- Self Timer: true
- Self-Timer Delay: 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds
- Shooting Modes: Auto, P: programmed auto with flexible program, S: shutter-priority auto, A: aperture-priority auto, M: manual, U1, U2 and U3: user settings modes (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
- Panorama Mode: false
- White Balance Modes: Auto (3 types), natural light auto, direct sunlight, cloudy, shade, incandescent, fluorescent (3 types), flash, choose color temperature (2500 K–10,000 K), preset manual (up to 6 values can be stored), all with fine-tuning except choose color temperature (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 20.9 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Lens Mount Compatibility: Nikon Z
- Lens Type: Standard Zoom
- Minimum Focal Length: 16 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 50 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- In-Lens Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. Lens stabilization means an element within the lens moves automatically to counteract detected motion.)
- Lens Series: Nikon Z (The product group that the lens belongs to, based on similar shared features.)
- Lens Model Number: 20084
- Flash
- Integrated Flash: false

- Screen Resolution: approx. 1040k-dot (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
- Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Varying Angle Screen: true (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)

- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- Video Resolution(s) and Frame Rate(s): 4K (2160p) video recording (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, and the frame rate used to capture the video. The higher the resolution the finer the video detail that can be seen. The faster the frame rate the smoother the playback for higher motion activities like sports.)

A: Hey Plasticsdoc! You'll definitely need the Nikon FTZ Converter. Your D5300 is an F-mount, and your Sigma lens is, too. The Z-30 uses Z-mount, so that lens will not attach without the converter. I went through this myself. I had a Nikon D7500 (F-mount) and I have two Sigma prime lenses. Wanted to go mirrorless, the D7500 is not unfortunately (great camera though). Got the converter so I could use those lenses on my Z-30. Works amazing! Auto-focus still functions as it would without the adapter. Quality is not compromised at all. In fact, my Z-30 with adapter and Sigma lenses gave me better quality than my D7500 in some cases. And a nugget of news for you, Sigma announced it will be releasing Z-mount lenses in 2023. So excited! Sigma makes great lenses and they're a bit cheaper than a number of its competitors for sure! One of the best decisions I've made. Buying the adapter meant I could use the lenses I already have (and not sell my soul to buy replacements...hahaha). So in my opinion, if you have lenses in your arsenal and you want to be able to use them on a new body, buying the adapter is worth the investment. Sorry for the essay, but I totally understand your question and wanted to chime in. Peace and blessings my friend, and best of luck as you're looking to upgrade!
Q: What other lenses are available for this camera?
A: Z lenses 24 28 40 26 all sharp and good.Comes with 14-50 3.5 - 5.0 Zoom that is really good lens
