Nikon Z30 with Z 16-50mm

Get inspired with stunning video

Share your story with stunning video quality

Elevate your content by boosting the image quality. Express your memories of a wonderful night richly, without image noise. Draw all eyes to yourself or your subject looking beautiful against a soft background bokeh. Engage people's senses across your whole image, with sharp details and rich textures. The Z 30 gives you easy access to all these benefits. The key is the larger volume of light received by its APS-C size/DX-format image sensor - 14x larger and more advanced than that in a typical smartphone*. Further contributions come from the advanced-performance engine — the same EXPEED 6 found in higher-level models such as the Z 7/Z 6 - and the strikingly sharp NIKKOR Z lenses.

Sharp focus on the eyes of friends and pets in motion

Make your video more engaging with a constant sharp focus on the eyes - whether it's you, your friends and family, or your pets. Eye-Detection AF and Animal-Detection AF are available in wide-area AF (L) as well as auto-area AF, letting the camera more reliably pick out the eyes to focus on. This makes it easy to capture your subject's eyes in focus even when they are moving - in both video recording and still photography. The AF-F mode dedicated to video recording enables powerful tracking of your subjects even when they are moving or composition changes. If you want a more subtle and nuanced expression, try applying slower or faster focusing, with AF speed adjustable between 11 steps. Go faster to quickly shift focus from the item you're introducing back to your face, or go slower to smoothly draw viewers’ attention from one subject to another.

Check footage of yourself in real-time with the rotating monitor

Connect better with your audience via the Z 30's vari-angle monitor, by simply pointing the camera and rotating the monitor toward yourself. This way, you can record selfies while making sure you look good in real-time. Adjusting exposure compensation is also easy and intuitive by checking your appearance and using the touch operation on the monitor. Taking further advantage of the vari-angle monitor, you can explore more creative angles, whether it's from waist level, higher up or very low - letting you share your life from your own unique angles.

Let the camera roll for as long as you need.

Keep the camera rolling for up to 125 minutes, convenient for content like makeup tutorials or product reviews. Meanwhile, connecting a portable charger or computer allows the Z 30 to record with a constant power supply, giving you peace of mind during a long take.

Compact and lightweight yet sharp and beautiful

The NIKKOR Z lens lineup offers beginner-friendly choices that are designed to be small and accessible but deliver extremely high performance. They depict every detail with superb sharpness, create soft, natural background bokeh, and are easy to operate, exceeding what's expected from conventional kit lenses. All the DX lenses come equipped with Nikon's vibration reduction (VR) system*, which helps stabilize the footage when recording while walking. Try using different lenses and broaden the possibilities for your content.

Rode VideoMicro

Suits DSLRs and Mirrorless Cameras

The Rode VideoMicro is an on-camera microphone that will improve your home movies, YouTube vlogs or next short film. Ideal for DSLR or Mirrorless shooters, its compact size and included Rycote Lyre shock mount is perfect for all on-the-go shooting scenarios.

Directional Audio Pickup

Weighing only 42g, the lightweight design incorporates a high-quality cardioid condenser microphone capsule to deliver excellent quality sound. Its directional characteristics focus on audio directly in front of the camera, effectively reducing distracting peripheral noise from either side of your shot.

Lightweight Aluminium Construction

Constructed from aluminium, the Video Micro also ensures a high level of RF rejection. Its exterior has been coated with a black high-grade ceramic, anti-glare coating for added protection against scratches, dings and accidental damage during everyday use.

Includes Rycote Lyre Shock Mount

The included Rycote Lyre anti-noise, anti-shock mount dramatically reduces unwanted handling noise caused by physical knocks and bumps during recording. Made from a hard-wearing thermoplastic material, the Lyre system will never wear out, sag or snap, providing superior longevity compared to elastic suspension style shock mounts.

Convenient Cold Shoe Mount

The Rycote mount sits on top of a standard flash cold shoe, making it compatible with most DSLR and Mirrorless cameras. The cold shoe also features an integrated cable management system, further reducing unwanted vibrations caused by loose cables.

Includes WS9 Windsock

A high-quality WS9 synthetic furry wind shield is also included with the VideoMicro. It features a foam inner cell for maximum protection against unwanted wind and environmental noise.

No Batteries Required

Powered by your camera's plug-in power (min 3V required) the microphone also includes a Rode SC2 TRS patch cable to allow you to plug directly into your camera's external microphone port for use straight out of the box.

Take your Social Media to the Next Level

Alternatively, the Rode Video Micro can also be used in conjunction with an SC7 TRS to TRRS patch cable (sold separately) to let you capture crystal clear directional sound directly from your smartphone or tablet device.
