Nikon Z30 Mirrorless Camera
The Nikon Z30 is a purpose-built mirrorless camera that is small, networked, and targeted toward artists. It is best for vloggers and live streams. With 4K video recording, a sizable 20.9MP DX-format sensor, and Nikon's exceptional image quality, the Z30 combines these features with a unique feature set and design to enhance your content and accompany you on daily excursions.
4K Video Recording and Sensor Design: Video and Streaming
- UHD 4K recording up to 30p is supported for crisp, high-resolution video needs. Full HD 120p recording is available, too, for slow-motion playback.
- Continuous recording for up to 2 hours 15 minutes is possible for distilling events or any other situation that requires longer continuous takes.
- Live streaming is possible at up to Full HD 60p or 4K 30p, and the Z30 is compatible with a variety of web conferencing apps, from meaning it can easily function as a high-quality webcam, too.
- For longer takes, streaming, and other instances where you need constant power, the Z30 can be powered via the USB Type-C port.
Photo Capabilities
- Versatile 20.9MP resolution suits stills needs, too, and means the Z30 is a perfect tool for capturing stills during productions or for photographing higher-resolution thumbnails and promotional images.
- The large DX-format sensor benefits working in low-light conditions by producing imagery with low noise, high clarity, and a useful sensitivity range from ISO 100-51200, or up to ISO 25600 when recording video.
- For photographing fast-moving action, a top continuous shooting speed up to 11 fps is available.
- Merging stills and video, in-camera time-lapse production is possible.
- Built-in presets and filters can also be used to refine your photos and videos straight from the camera.
Vlogging Essentials
- Compact body design incorporates a 3.0" 1.04m-dot free-angle LCD screen. This position able screen can face forward for accurate selfie compositions and can close inward to protect the screen from scratches and fingerprints when not in use.
- Selfie-style controls permit changing the focus position and exposure, as well as setting the self-timer, via the touchscreen when the screen is facing forward.
- Front red tally lamp clearly indicates when the camera is recording.
- Special attention is given to audio recording with the inclusion of a top stereo microphone along with the inclusion of a 3.5mm external microphone port for working with an optional mic. Also, there is an optional dedicated Wind Muff to cut wind noise and improve quality when using the onboard mic.
Fast, Reliable Autofocus
- Eye Detection AF uses facial recognition to help lock focus onto subjects' eyes.
- Face and eye tracking can recognize people, dogs, and cats, and can lock onto these subjects and track focus as they move around the scene.
- Ideal for product close-ups, the AF system quickly and naturally shifts focus as you hold something up to the camera and then re-shifts focus to the subject as the product is moved away.

With a zoom range from wide-angle to portrait length, this lens is ideal for common shooting scenarios. Aspherical and extra-low dispersion components are used in its optical design to assist eliminate a number of aberrations for sharper, clearer images throughout the zoom range. Additionally, a Super Integrated Coating has been used to reduce flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy in backlit and bright environments. Vibration Reduction image stabilization, which reduces the appearance of camera shake by up to 4.5 stops for crisper handheld shooting, works in conjunction with the lens's versatile focal length range.

Vibration Reduction image stabilization, which reduces the appearance of camera shake by up to 5 stops for clearer handheld shooting, also expands its range. Stepping motors offer full-time manual focus override and rapid, quiet, and accurate autofocus performance for both stills and video applications. Additionally, a straightforward adjustment over a range of camera and exposure settings can be made using a programmed control ring.
