Camera position parameters of Nikon camera

After attending Nikon's summer media exchange meeting last month, Nikon Z? Fc left a deep impression on the seniors. Until I got the evaluation machine this week, I still can't hide my inner joy. The reason ... is simple. Who doesn't like equipment that is both beautiful and easy to shoot? Stylistically, Nikon z? This time, fc almost perfectly reproduced its popular film machine FM2, which not only highly restored the appearance and control mode, but also made users experience the same creative fun as shooting with a film camera.

Performance, Nikon z? Fc does not stretch: about 20.88 million effective pixels, supports 12-bit or 14-bit RAW format, and has built-in 20 creative styles, with a maximum of about 1 1 second continuous shooting, human/animal eye focusing and 4K recording? 30P video and full HD 4x slow motion video. For daily shooting users, these performances have far exceeded the adequate level.

Incorporating retro elements, equipped with anti-reverse technology, Nikon Z? As the official said, fc is a product connecting the past, the present and the future. So is its actual performance as expected by users? Today we will experience this popular camera together.

Entry experience

Nikon z? Fc adopts the same body size as FM2 camera. Although the mirrorless camera cancels the pentaprism mechanism, Nikon Z? Fc still retains the pentagonal warship shape at the top, and makes its size more harmonious with the large-caliber Z bayonet. At the same time, the lettering "Nikon" used from 1970 to 1980 was reproduced at the front end of the warship. Really original!

The fuselage is made of magnesium alloy, which is durable and light in weight. The volume is about 134.5*93.5*43.5mm, and the weight is about 390g (only camera weight). A small and portable body naturally needs to be matched with an equally lightweight lens. Nikon officially provided two sets of lens matching schemes. Option 1: Nikon z? fc？ +? Nicole? z？ DX？ 16-50mm？ The overall weight of f/3.5-6.3VR is about 525g. Option 2: Nikon Z? fc？ +? Nicole? z？ 28mm？ f/2.8(SE)？ About 545g g g.

Is the suit in your hand Nikon Z? fc？ +? Nicole? z？ 28mm？ F/2.8 combination (SE). Although I prefer Nicole before unpacking? z？ DX？ 16-50mm？ F/3.5-6.3VR, the silver lens not only makes people feel more retro, but also feels the charm of the thinnest suit, but fortunately Nicole? z？ 28mm？ F/2.8(SE) is not inferior.

The new Nicole? z？ 28mm？ The F/2.8(SE) has undergone a retro transformation in appearance, and it is still the lightest Z-mount FX frame lens with outstanding portability. Because it is an FX frame lens, the viewing angle of the lens mounted on the DX fuselage will change from 75 to 53, which is approximately equal to the 42mm focal length in the FX frame. The focal length between 35mm and 50mm makes the lens capable of shooting most subjects.

Besides the camera itself, Nikon z? In addition to the default classic color scheme of silver and black, fc also provides six personalized color schemes of pure white, sand beige, natural gray, amber brown, coral powder and mint green to meet the aesthetic needs of young fashion users. It is worth mentioning that if users want to change the color of leather, they don't need to buy a new machine with the corresponding color, but can replace it through Nikon's official paid replacement service (the cost is 300 yuan).

Nikon z? The top of fc is equipped with three independent aluminum thumb wheels, which is also the classic design of the replica FM2. The thumb wheel can adjust the camera's sensitivity, shutter speed, exposure compensation and other parameters/modes, which greatly improves the user's sense of control when shooting. Among them, the ISO speed dial on the left shoulder can be changed with the value of 1/3EV, and the maximum value can be extended to H2. The compound thumbwheel below can set the camera mode and has five adjustable gears: M, A, S, P and AUTO.

On the other hand, the right shoulder shutter wheel is set in one step, which supports the speed adjustment from door B to 1/4000. If the user is used to the adjustment of 1/3 steps, it can be adjusted to 1/3? Set the shutter speed through the dial behind the stepping gear on the back of the fuselage. There is also a compound wheel under the shutter wheel, which can quickly switch between photo mode and video mode. It is worth mentioning that the camera can be extended from 30 seconds to 900 seconds after opening the "d5 Extended Shutter Speed Range (M)" option, which is very useful for photographers who like shooting starry sky.

On the far right is the exposure compensation dial, which can control the exposure manually according to the shooting requirements. The "C" file is for the convenience of the selfie taker to control the exposure more intuitively through the screen.

Speaking of selfies, I have to say this Nikon Z? Fc is equipped with a flip screen. As the first flip screen equipped with a Z-mount camera, this 7.5cm(3.0 inch) screen can be controlled not only by touch, but also flipped from multiple angles, which is convenient for high/low framing and composition. When the monitor is facing the front of the camera, it will automatically switch to portrait selfie mode. In this mode, many functions such as touching AF and touching shutter, including exposure compensation, can be accomplished by touching the screen.

Real shooting experience

Many people don't like taking pictures with cameras. The key problem is that they don't want to spend time on the post-processing of photos. Therefore, when buying cameras, such people often give priority to the models with good straight effect. Nikon z? Fc has 8 standard optimization calibrations and 20 creative optimization calibrations built in, which can be set in advance and confirmed in real time through the display screen.

These creative optimization calibrations all support custom settings, and users can modify an effect according to their own needs to become your exclusive effect. In addition, Nikon z? Fc also provides creative optimization management, and users can store customized effects and use them directly next time.

Did we mention Nikon z earlier? Fc is the first Z-bayonet camera equipped with flip screen, which is particularly practical when taking selfies. Whether taking photos or videos, you can intuitively change and set camera parameters through the screen. In addition, when shooting a video, it also supports the opening of creative optimization calibration, which is convenient for later straight out.

Self-timer control demonstration

In addition to manually changing the focal length, Nikon z? Fc can turn on eye detection autofocus and animal detection autofocus, in which eye autofocus can be easily recognized even if the user wears a mask. For the creators of the current special period, the practicability of this function is self-evident.

Human eye focusing demonstration

Animal detection autofocus also provides convenience for pet lovers to photograph their owners. When users turn on this function, they will cooperate with Nikon Z? fc？ With the continuous shooting function of 1 1 photos per second, even lively pets can easily capture photos. Video shooting supports turning on human eye detection autofocus and animal detection autofocus.

Nikon z? As a half-frame camera, fc's performance in ISO sensitivity is generally acceptable. There is a photo of ISO soaring to 10000 in the test film. Zoom in on its dark part. Although there is noise visible to the naked eye, the details are still preserved. Therefore, in the daily environment, if you want to control the noise, there is basically no big problem in controlling the sensitivity below 6400.

After an afternoon of shooting, Nikon z? Fc's good endurance performance is quite surprising. EN-EL25 battery with rated capacity of 1 120mAh is adopted. Although the official did not give the number of fully charged shots, from the point of view that the new machine is still fully charged after shooting intermittently for more than three hours, the continuous combat capability is quite good.

There is hope for the future.

Can you say Nikon z? Fc is a camera with quite good shooting performance. However, after practical experience and consulting several old Nikon users, I still have more expectations for this camera. The appearance of this product is almost flawless, which is why this article will use enough space to introduce the modeling in detail. If you study the configuration carefully, you will find that many of its performances are similar to Nikon Z? About 50, of course. Nikon z? Fc is not a shell-changing product, just like the position of the side interface is reasonably adjusted after the rollover screen is adopted: the microphone interface is moved to the bottom to prevent the rollover screen from being blocked and unable to rotate when the microphone interface is occupied.

So buy Nikon z? Before fc, users need to know the following points:

1.？ Its effective pixel is low. About 20.88 million effective pixels are enough, but only enough. For many users who are used to secondary composition, the adjustable space in the later period is greatly reduced.

2.？ The highest shutter speed is only 1/4000 seconds. Maybe Nikon Z was originally designed? The positioning of Fc is not a professional sports shooting, but it will be more possible for shooting creation if there is a higher shutter speed.

3.？ There is no anti-shake function added to the fuselage. This is a pity, but fortunately, the official said that after installing the lens that supports the anti-shake function, it can still provide a good anti-shake effect.

4.？ The number of customizable keys is limited. It seems that there are only two physical buttons with rich backs, which can be customized in both photo mode and video mode. If the direction key, zoom-in/zoom-out key and DISP key can support customization function, I believe their manipulation will be a qualitative leap.

5.？ There is no handle for easy storage, but the grip is poor. This is more subjective. Are you using Nikon Z? When shooting fc, trying to shoot with one hand several times is not very stable. It should be improved a lot if the handle accessories can be introduced later.

6.？ Unfortunately, there is no Quan Huafu version. Actually released Nikon z? Fc, many people are sighing: If only Quan Huafu CMOS were put on such a big bayonet. If this design is in Quan Huafu FX format, I believe it will attract more professionals to buy it. However, according to Nikon's style, most people will observe the feedback from the market before making a decision, so I hope this time Nikon Z? Fc's big sale can make them realize this. If the Quan Huafu version is released in the future, it will definitely sell!
