With the dedicated new airplane mode added to the AF detection menu, the Z 8’s powerful combination of subject detection and 3D-tracking allows you to easily capture fast, erratically moving subjects; while the wide-area AF offers 20 custom options to provide flexibility for any shooting situation. Experience excellent video features with multiple video formats of your choice to tell your visual narratives. Record to your heart’s content with up to 125 minutes of continuous recording in 4K UHD/60p, together with a variety of accessories to elevate your videography creations.
This is everything you want in a full-frame hybrid camera. Image quality, precision, flexibility - and a compact, lightweight body. Video to stills. Commissions to passion projects. Don’t just create. Thrive.
Compact body. Flagship performance.
Tap into the world of professional imagery with top-performing features of the Nikon Z series! The Z 8 brings the feature set of the Z 9 to a body that is 30% smaller than the Z 9 and 15% smaller than the D850. The 45 MP stacked CMOS sensor and impressive dynamic range. The phenomenal deep-learning AF system, and a subject- and eye-detection hit rate you can rely on. The blackout-free Real-Live Viewfinder and 4-axis tilting monitor. Video, stills, or both. You have the freedom to innovate while the Z 8 reliably nails every frame. With its robust and hardy build, you can immerse yourself in the deep of the action and showcase that winning moment with confidence.
Astounding agility for video and stills
New ideas, tight budgets, fast turnarounds. Small setup or a full rig. However and wherever you create, the Z 8’s flexibility will keep your projects flowing. Record stunning 8K or 4K video straight out of the camera at an array of frame rates, including slow motion. Capture exquisite 45.7 MP stills even if shooting by starlight. There are separate display interfaces for video and stills, and menus rotate if shooting vertically.
Agility in your hands.
Videos or stills, capture it all handheld with extra stability and comfort. Weighing only at approximately 910g (body only) and with a deep grip design, the Z 8 allows you to climb up, lay low, or go the distance to follow through the actions, with minimal fatigue. Its compatibility with an array of videography accessories provides the flexibility to film in different genres with ease. In terms of workflow, it supports ProRes422 HQ and RAW video file formats to cater to your post-production preferences. Now you can move around on this small and lightweight system with agility, and record commercial-grade videos with it effortlessly.
Professional video filming made easy.
Keep your camera rolling for your documentary or interview for up to 125 minutes in 4K UHD/60p, or up to 90 minutes in 8K UHD/30p. Take a leap into video realism by creating in-camera 8K HDR time-lapse videos and view them in hi-definition with HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) monitors. Producing professional-quality videos can be as simple as that.
4-Axis Vertical / Horizontal Tilting Monitor.
Shoot from different angles with added comfort. The 4-axis vertical/horizontal tilting monitor allows you to easily frame your subjects. Whether you are shooting or reviewing your work, its 8cm touch-sensitive monitor enables you to adjust the position and settings of the camera, in any way you like.
Wide options of video format.
Whatever content you are creating, feel at home filming with the Z 8. The wide variety of video formats, such as 12-bit RAW, 10-bit ProRes 422 HQ and N-Log, can provide videographers of any level with colour-grading options that suit their post-production workflow.
High-Res Zoom.
Keep your bag light without having to carry extra lenses. Zoom up to 2x the focal length even with a prime lens, and achieve 4K UHD (30p/25p/24p) and Full HD video shooting in FX-format without losing resolution.
Timecode Sync.
Lay out your shots from multiple devices in chronological order easily. Sync your timecode with multiple devices over Bluetooth using UltraSync Blue. Free yourself from cables and start shooting from creative angles.
Show the best side of you.
Let the Z 8 bring out the best in your portraiture. Its Skin Softening effect auto-detects human faces to smoothen the overall skin tone while keeping the eyes and hair sharp – for both videos and stills. Together with the Portrait Impression Balance effect that adjusts the hue and brightness of your subjects, you can save time and effort from post-editing work.
Largest variety of AF tracking in the world.
Track up to 9 types of subjects all at the same time. Keep your stills and videos crystal clear while staying focused not just on humans and your furry kids, but also on cars, planes, trains, bikes, and more.
Capture beyond what the eyes can see.
Freeze a precise moment with Pre-release capture.
Never miss a moment, even when capturing subjects moving at high speed. Pre-release capture records images up to 1 second before the shutter button is fully pressed, and up to 4 seconds after the shutter button is fully pressed. Unleash your potential, whether photographing in a race event or chasing after erratic wildlife.
Lock in focus easily, even during low-light conditions.
Capture the magnificent glow of the golden hour. Even under low light situations, its wide AF detection range of -7 to 19 EV (-9 to 19 EV in starlight view mode)1 allows you to lock focus on moving subjects to keep your scenes sharp and clear. With 20 custom AF pattern options in wide-area AF to choose from, you can lock focus continuously on your subject in any situation.
3D tracking for stills.
Experience the powerful AF tracking performance powered by the EXPEED 7 image-processing engine. Its 3D-tracking capabilities provide effective sticky tracking on multiple subjects in a single frame, helping you get your intended shot even with erratic movements.
Clear. Vivid. Bright.
Stabilise your images and videos and take clearer shots. The in-camera VR and Synchro VR can work together to achieve up to 6 stops of VR effect for stills, helping you get sharper images easily. For sharper and clearer videos, simply activate the EVR on top of the in-camera VR. Trapezoidal distortion can then be compensated to minimise camera shake, resulting in crystal clear shots.
Powered by dual-stream technology, the Z 8 records real-time action and captures it simultaneously as it happens through the blackout-free Real-Live Viewfinder, helping you shoot erratic moments and never skip a beat.
Your photos can be more vivid than ever. On top of the RAW and JPEG file formats, the Z 8 includes the HEIF format to render 10-bit still images with rich tonal gradation. It works together with the QUAD-VGA panel monitor, the world’s brightest 3000cd/m2 monitor panel to show the true colours of your subject – be it during sunrise, sunset, or midday – with live-view shooting or playback in tones close to an HDR monitor. You can rest assured that the image tone is the one you are after, the moment you capture the shot.
Made to last.
The Z 8 comes with an extra tough, strong, sturdy exterior. It is built with a new environmentally friendly material that is robust and can withstand temperatures up to -10°C, with effective sealing to each cover such as the battery chamber and shutter release button, to make it dust- and drip-resistant. The sensor shield and the dual coating on the image sensor will prevent dust from entering and sticking to the sensor. The Vibration Reduction lock minimises shakes on the image sensor structure, and thus prevents accidental damage. Enjoy greater peace of mind when you carry your camera along a bumpy drive.
