The new world of vlogging
Leave your smartphone behind and bring your vlogging ideas to life with first-class image quality. The Z 30 is compact, powerful and super easy to use. It opens up spaces for creativity with more light, power and versatility. This mirrorless camera is made for creatives with a story to tell. Show more. Tell more. From product unboxings to reviews, recipes and practical tips. From music to cooking, from travel to parkours. Whatever your topic, you can offer your followers more with professional-looking shots. With the Z 30, you can create the shots with the sharpness, depth and sound that top-class vloggers and streamers expect.
Unmissable in 4K
From 4K UHD movies (30p) to time-lapse movies and smooth slow motion in Full HD (120p), the Z 30 uses the full width of its large sensor to provide a 100% field of view (approx.). Framing yourself and your subject is easy.
No reason to stop
Space for up to 125 minutes of uninterrupted footage⁵. That's plenty of scope for long takes or continuous shooting. Thanks to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and the Nikon SnapBridge app, you can upload content from anywhere.
Crystal clear, crisp sound
With the sensitive built-in stereo microphone - or an external microphone - you can capture your sound in first-class quality. The audio menu offers options for recording voices or ambient sounds such as music and streets. There is also a wind noise filter.
Rely on quality that inspires
At home, in the studio or on the road. With the Z 30, you can record the most vivid vlogs in advance or stream them straight away. Your photo feeds will inspire your followers with detailed still images. This is the opportunity to get content straight from the camera.
More light, more wow!
Thanks to the large Z bayonet, the DX format sensor with 20.9 megapixels captures so much more light than a smartphone. Whether movies or photos - no smartphone can achieve this level of detail. Indoors or outdoors, day or night.
Inspired by the night
Movies and photos taken in low light look clear and professional. Shoot movies at up to ISO 25 600 and photos at up to ISO 51 200 (expandable). Just keep shooting into the night with the same fast and accurate autofocus you rely on during the day.
Intuitive creative control
Low. High. Wide. The Z 30's 3-inch touchscreen monitor, with its uncluttered views and thoughtfully designed controls, allows you to capture any type of shot with ease. If you shoot both vlogs and photos with the camera, you can save separate settings for movies and photos and switch between them as needed. No need to pause and reconfigure settings every time.
Comfortable and shake-free
Take the Z 30 in your hand and everything just falls into place. The deep grip is a feat of engineering for such a small camera and enables stable handheld shooting, even with an outstretched arm. In addition, Nikon's e-VR helps to ensure that movie footage looks beautiful and blur-free.
For vlogs from the hand
As soon as you point the tilting and rotating monitor forwards, self-portrait mode is activated and the screen is unblocked for an unobstructed view. Take snapshots or movies with the conveniently positioned record button.
Ready for action
No matter what angle you're shooting from, the movie recording button at the top of the camera body is always right where you need it. A clear red frame around the monitor confirms that you are in movie mode. A red light on the front confirms recording.
Customizable controls
You have many options for customizing the controls and making settings. You can assign your preferred menu options to the immediately accessible i-Menu. You can assign frequently used settings to the Fn buttons - or to the user-defined settings U1/U2/U3, which you can then call up using the function dial.
He who dares will find
Difficult lighting. Fast action. Quiet environments. Whether shooting movies or photos, the Z 30 is packed with advanced automatic functions. This gives you creative control - and the silent shutter mode lets you shoot quietly. Whether you already know how to realize your ideas or you're trying something new, you'll get the results you want.
Safely in focus
Filming action on the move or taking selfies? The AF mode for movie shooting uses continuous autofocus to simplify focusing. The camera remains fixed on the subject - no matter what it does or how often you spontaneously change the image section.
Follow your eyes
The Eye AF and Animal Detection AF modes, available for stills and movie recording, quickly capture the eyes of people, cats and dogs. The camera keeps the subject's eyes in focus, even if it turns away and looks back again.
Perfect exposure
Shoot confidently in all lighting conditions without having to learn complicated settings. In automatic mode, you can quickly and easily adjust the camera's exposure compensation so that the subject or your face is always well lit.
Exciting photos
For photos, a high continuous shooting rate of 11 fps is possible with full support of AF and AE (automatic exposure). From the street to the skate park: Insta-perfect shots in the middle of the action.
Create content like a pro
The Z 30 is compatible with many powerful interchangeable lenses - and all the accessories you need to create the content that everyone loves. Show off your ideas - and complete your kit as you expand your skills.
Find the right Lens
Whether you're streaming indoors or vlogging outdoors, there's a Nikon Lens to suit. You can use any NIKKOR-Z Lens. Or use the optional FTZ II bayonet adapter for Nikon D-SLR Lens with F bayonet mount.
Customize your equipment effortlessly
Do you have a favorite microphone? The Z 30 is compatible with popular third-party vlogging accessories and a range of Nikon accessories. Whether you want to keep your equipment lean and simple or expand it, you're ready for anything.
Hand-held or remote-controlled
Want to control your camera remotely or film it yourself? With the Nikon ML-L7 remote control, you can operate the Z 30 as if from the palm of your hand. Or you can attach the remote control to a SmallRig tripod handle and control the camera conveniently via the handle.
Optimizing, photographing and designing
If you want to use filters, you can use the Z 30 to adjust your work and edit it in the camera. There are 20 Creative Picture Controls available for movies and photos - all customizable and visible in real time as you shoot.
Give your smartphone something to do
Since you no longer use your smartphone for vlogging, it now comes into its own with Nikon's SnapBridge app. Transfer 4K movies or photos with hashtags wirelessly to your smartphone to share them with others. Or use SnapBridge to control the camera remotely.
Connect the cable and go live
With a universal USB Type-C cable (included), you can power the Z 30 constantly: stream vlogs live and charge the camera battery at the same time! To stream the sharpest and most beautiful shots, simply use a NIKKOR-Z Lens and connect the Z 30 to a computer with the free Nikon Webcam Utility installed.
