Perfectly suited to your needs

The Nikon Zxa050 delivers superb image quality – capturing the world as you see it. Thanks to the wide Nikon Z mount, the camera’s large 20.9xa0MP DX-format sensor lets in more light across the frame. And when more light is let in, more detail is captured. Whether you’re shooting day or night, colors in photos and movies are more vivid. Depth is greater. And sharpness is incredible.

Capture sharp images. No matter how you compose.

Get perfectly focused photos and 4K movies. The Hybrid AF (autofocus) system is fast, accurate and incredibly smooth. The sensor's AF points cover approximately 90x90% of the frame horizontally and vertically for stunning sharpness across the entire frame. Subjects stay in focus whether they're in the center, off to the side or moving.

Amazing photos at sunset

With an automatic ISO range of 100-5100 and low-light AF, you can shoot day or night without any restrictions. From 3am cityscapes to low-light portraits, you'll capture more detail in the dark than ever before.

Great portraits

Spontaneous portraits just got better. Intelligent Face Detection AF automatically focuses on your subject's eyes, whether they're alone or in a crowd. Focus is maintained even when the subject moves.

Discreet, but not shy

The Nikon Zxa050 focuses quietly and features a silent shooting mode. When your friends ask you to bring your camera to their wedding, you can capture the moment without disturbing them.

It's all about timing

If you see it, you can capture it. Continuous shooting at up to 11x0fps with autofocus and auto exposure means you'll capture shots that others might miss.

Quality movies

The Nikon Zxa050 makes it easy to record high-quality movies. You can record 4K/UHD movies at 30p, as well as slow-motion footage in Full HD. The image is uncropped, so you can make full use of the camera's large DX-format sensor. You can also capture stills while recording movies and create dramatic 4K time-lapse sequences.

See clearly

The ultra-bright electronic viewfinder (EVF) lets you see everything clearly, whether you’re shooting stills or videos. The EVF can display a natural image, similar to a DSLR optical viewfinder. Or you can see how your photos will look after you’ve adjusted your settings. The image remains smooth and steady, even when you zoom in to check for proper focus.

Take it everywhere

The Nikon Zxa050 lets you capture the moment something catches your eye, and there's a pop-up flash if you need extra light. The lightweight body makes it easy to carry, and the top and front of the body are made of a strong magnesium alloy.

Required angle

The large, high-resolution LCD screen uses smartphone-style controls and can be tilted up and down. Whether you're recording video or taking self-portraits, you can do it from just the right angle.

Matching your ambitions

There are 20 creative effects for capturing photos and videos, all of which you can customize to your needs. Simply adjust the intensity while previewing the effect and enjoy unique results.

Nice to hold in your hands

Once you pick up the camera and start shooting, you won't want to put it down. The well-placed buttons and touchscreen controls make it easy to operate, and the clear and simple DSLR-style menu system is easy to understand. Whether this is your first Nikon product or your first Nikon mirrorless camera, learning to use it won't be difficult.

LOG IN

Fast Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® connections let you transfer photos and movies to any device for storage or sharing. The Nikon SnapBridge app makes it easy to share JPEGs and movies on the go, as well as shoot photos and videos remotely.

GREAT LENSES

NIKKOR Z lenses are designed for both stills and video. This fast, bright, and small Nikon Z camera is compatible with them all. If you have NIKKOR DSLR lenses with an F mount, you can use them with the FTZ Mount Adapter.¹

COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM

Whether you want to shoot stills or videos, there are endless possibilities. You can seamlessly connect a wide range of Nikon accessories to the Nikon Zxa050, including camera remotes, DSLR Speedlights, microphones and more.
