Nikon Z9 - New standards for professional photographers & filmmakers
The Nikon Z9 is a professional camera for demanding photographers and videographers who require the highest performance and quality. This Nikon full-frame mirrorless camera is Nikon's flagship model and offers an impressive combination of speed, resolution and performance.
With its full-frame sensor with 45,7 megapixels, the Nikon Z9 delivers breathtaking images with impressive detail. The camera has an ISO range of 64-25600, which can be extended up to ISO 102400 for low-light shooting.
AF area control & AF system
The Nikon Z9 is equipped with an advanced autofocus system, 493-point AF system includes 405 points used for auto-area AF. It offers very high accuracy and speed, as well as excellent performance in tracking moving subjects. In addition, the camera is capable of recording up to 20 frames per second, making it Nikon's fastest camera.
Nikon Z9 deep learning AI
The Nikon Z9 is not only a powerful camera, but also equipped with groundbreaking deep learning AI. This technology enables the camera to automatically detect and track the subject (people, animals, vehicles, planes) to always provide sharp images and videos, even with fast movements. No other AF system can recognize so many subjects in a scene at the same time.
With the Nikon Z9's deep learning AI, shooting & filming becomes a seamless and intuitive experience. Be amazed by the technology of the Nikon Z9 and discover the future.
Superior speed for greater efficiency
The Nikon Z9 is equipped with a brand new image sensor and a super fast processor. This combination makes it possible to record up to 20 frames per second. Whether you want to capture fast action scenes, sporting events or wildlife photography, the Nikon Z9 gives you all the tools to capture the perfect moment. In addition, the camera can store up to 200 RAW files in a single continuous shot, which greatly speeds up workflows.
Incredible resolution for the highest sharpness of detail
The Nikon Z9 offers an incredible resolution of 45,7 megapixels. With this high level of detail, you can capture even the smallest details and display them with impressive clarity. In addition, the camera is capable of recording 8K videos, which offers unprecedented quality. The Nikon Z9's high resolution makes it the perfect choice for landscape photographers who want to print their images on a large scale or view them on a large monitor.
8K video internal
Another highlight of the Nikon Z9 is its video recording function. It allows you to record 8K videos at up to 30 frames per second – or RAW 8,3K films with particularly smooth 60p as well as 4K videos with up to 120 frames per second to record. The camera has a built-in 5-axis image stabilizer, which ensures stable recording even when recording video.
12-bit RAW & Apple ProRes 422HQ in-camera
Expand your options to in-camera 12-bit recording with ProRes RAW HQ (up to 4K/60p) or Nikon's new N-RAW format (up to 8K/60p and 4K/120p).⁶ You can also record with an 8 -Record bit/10-bit depth in-camera with H.265 (HEVC) or 10-bit Apple ProRes 422 HQ.
Robustly built
The Nikon Z9 is a robust and durable camera that is suitable for use in different environments. It is protected against dust and moisture and has a robust magnesium alloy for high stability and durability.
