The Nikon Z9 Mirrorless Digital Camera is the latest pro camera release from Nikon, designed with the professional photographer as well as the cinematographer in mind.

The Nikon Z9 Mirrorless Digital Camera features significant leaps in technology, and performance, meeting the needs of professionals.

With a newly developed 45.7MP FX-Format Stacked BSI CMOS Sensor with an ISO range of 64-25600, as well as a new EXPEED 7 Image Processing Engine capable of recording 8K30p and 4K120p video.

The Nikon Z9 Mirrorless Digital Camera features fast, and accurate human eye, and face autofocus, and tracking, as well as vehicle tracking. With a 493-point phase-detection covering the full sensor area.

The high-speed communications of the Z interface, as well as the speeds of the sensor, enables the Nikon Z9 Mirrorless Digital Camera to autofocus at frame rates of up to 120 fps.

One of the most important aspects of a flagship camera such as the Nikon Z9 Mirrorless Digital Camera, is its battery life.

With a pro DSLR form factor, the Nikon Z9 is compatible with the Nikon EN-EL18d Battery, producing up to 700 frames per charge.

Delivering speed, image quality, and connectivity, the Nikon Z9 Mirrorless Digital Camera is a professional-grade Mirrorless camera characterized by its newly developed sensor, advanced AF performance, and high-resolution 8K video recording.

Their first Mirrorless flagship camera, the  Nikon Z9 Mirrorless Digital Camera stands out as a camera that appeals to photographers, and filmmakers working across a wide variety of applications.

Nikon Z9: Unstoppable

Stacked Sensor and Powerful Processing Engine

45.7MP Stacked BSI CMOS Sensor

The core of the Nikon Z9 Mirrorless Digital Camera is the newly developed FX-format 45.7MP BSI Stacked CMOS Sensor.

Its Stacked design offers fast readout speeds and helps to reduce rolling shutter, and the BSI design contributes to impressive clarity and minimal noise when working at higher sensitivities.

At 45.7MP, it's also a high-resolution chip that benefits landscape, portraiture, and other detail-oriented genres, as well as enables recording video at resolutions up to 8K.

The full-frame BSI design is known for exquisite color and detail rendering, too, and this sensor offers a native ISO 64-25600 range, that can be expanded to ISO 32-102400.

EXPEED 7 Image Processor

Complementing the sensor is an advanced processing engine, the EXPEED 7, which offers speeds approximately 10x faster than a Z 7II. This engine works in conjunction with the stacked sensor design to realize impressively fast AF speeds, burst shooting rates, a high buffer capacity, fluid video performance, and quick all-around handling.

• Top continuous shooting speeds of 20 fps when shooting in raw, 30 fps when shooting in JPEG, and an impressive 120 fps shooting rate when recording 11MP stills, with all rates supporting full AF/AE performance.
• Able to buffer over 1000 raw images in a burst, meaning raw image sequences can be recorded for approximately 50 seconds continuously. Also, during playback, you can skip to the first shot of a given burst to expedite the on-camera review process.

• Pre-Release Capture helps make decisive moment shots easier by recording frames in a burst for up to a second prior to actually releasing the shutter. When this feature is activated, burst shooting will commence when the shutter is half-pressed and the buffer will retain up to a second's worth of frames prior to fully pressing the shutter.

• Electronic shutter affords a top shutter speed of 1/32,000 sec for working in the brightest conditions with wider apertures.
• Stacked Sensor reduces rolling shutter distortion so fast-moving subjects, like a golf club, tennis racket, or baseball bat, do not appear distorted when working with shutter speeds up to 1/32,000 sec.
• AF calculations are done at a 120 fps rate to keep up with fast continuous shooting speeds.

• New High-Efficiency RAW file format maintains image quality akin to uncompressed raw files but with file sizes approximately 30% smaller for faster reading/writing to the memory card.
• Motion Blend Retouch feature can be used to produce an in-camera composite that depicts a series of subject movements within a single frame.
• Added with Firmware 2.0, an enhanced Long Exposure display includes a live exposure timer on the rear LCD, along with the ability to dim the viewfinder to better preserve your night-adjusted vision.

Electronic Shutter-Only Design

Relying on the speed and stacked design of the sensor, the Nikon Z9 Mirrorless Digital Camera completely forgoes a mechanical shutter and uses just an Electronic Shutter for all capture modes. The speed of the sensor enables recording at up to 1/32,000 sec and the stacked structure reduces motion distortion for the accurate depiction of fast-moving subjects, like golf clubs, baseball bats, and automobiles.

Also, despite the absence of a mechanical shutter, flash sync up to 1/200 sec. is still supported as well as high-speed sync functions.

By removing the mechanical shutter, the Nikon Z9 Mirrorless Digital Camera can also operate completely silently and there is no worry over mechanical shutter wear or breakdown.

A shutter release sound can be added for awareness when a photo is being taken, and the volume can be adjusted to suit different working scenarios.

Fast and Intelligent AF

493-Point Phase-Detection AF

Covering the full sensor area, the Nikon Z9 Mirrorless Digital Camera uses a 493-Point Phase-Detection AF system to realize fast and accurate focusing performance. This system is benefitted from the high-speed communication of the Z interface along with the speed of the sensor that enables AF readings to occur at up to 120 fps.

This focusing system also supports working in low-light conditions with a Starlight mode that permits focusing down to -8.5 EV to g...
