Nikon Z fc - a camera with classic looks but modern technology

In 1982, Nikon launched the legendary Nikon FM2 -SLR camera. At the time, it was a reliable camera for the most demanding enthusiasts. Despite the rapid development of electronic automation in its time, the FM2 sold well and therefore production was only discontinued in 2001. Now, 20 years later, Nikon has decided to revive the FM2 as a modern version for the 2020s. The Nikon Z fc features the familiar body of the FM2, but Nikon Z50 -the technical implementation familiar from the camera.

Design respects the FM2 frame in many ways. The alternation of black and silver parts alone gives a retro feel. Of course, the camera also features the round eyepiece of the viewfinder and the iconic design of the dials. To top it all off, there's the familiar engraved Nikon logo from the 1970s and 80s. While all the design is retro, the body is still a solid magnesium alloy.

The camera's manual controls are easily controllable with three dials at the top of the body for shutter speed, ISO sensitivity and exposure compensation. The camera's i-menu and i-button allow you to quickly change the settings you want. In addition, the small display at the top allows you to easily check the aperture value.

Automatic description settings has been significantly improved compared to other Z-series cameras. Exposure compensation is now also possible in auto mode. This means that photographers are sure to achieve the expression style they want. If required, the camera also offers 20 creative Picture Control settings to add unique themes to your images.

Automatic focus is slightly more advanced than the Z50, as it now includes eye and animal detection AF functions for both still and video photography. Video mode supports continuous autofocus (AF-F), which is particularly useful for vlogging or when you can't control the camera with both hands.

With the SnapBridge app sharing images from the camera is quick and easy. If you want to share a picture or video clip you've just taken on social media, the SnapBridge app on your smartphone makes it easy. The app is available Google Play -trade, and On the app store.

Video features Z fc camera are excellent for their price range. Video can be recorded in 4K Ultra HD resolution at 30p, 25p or 24p and without cropping. In addition, beautiful 120fps slow motion video can be recorded at FullHD resolution. To make video shooting easier, the Z fc has a side-flip screen so you can see the image with confidence, whatever the situation. You can also connect an external microphone to the 3.5mm stereo port.
