Enhanced Portrait Photography Features

Leveraging a high-performance 493-point phase-detection AF system, the Z8 ensures swift and precise focusing across the frame with the aid of Z-mount's high-speed communication and the swift sensor reading capability.

Advanced 493-Point Autofocus System

Incorporating the Z9's refined Subject Detection technology, the Z8 identifies various subject types, from humans to animals, with improved Eye-Detection AF for accuracy. Enhanced subject tracking ensures focus remains locked on quickly moving subjects throughout the frame.

Intelligent Subject Recognition and Tracking

The Z8 shines in video performance, mirroring the Z9 with diverse resolution and frame rate options, including UHD 8K 30p recorded via full pixel readout. It also supports 4K and Full HD with slow-motion effects. Superior image quality is achieved through oversampled UHD 4K recording from 8K, alongside in-camera high-resolution stills extraction from 8K and 4K footage.

Video Capabilities on Par with Flagship Models

With 12-bit N-RAW and ProRes RAW HQ internal recording, videographers gain extensive dynamic range and color grading versatility. Nikon's N-RAW format delivers compact files ideal for MP4 proxies while offering multiple resolutions and frame rates for diverse project needs.

Professional 12-Bit N-RAW and ProRes RAW Formats

The Z8 enables internal recording with 10-bit color and 4:2:2 sampling across ProRes 422 HQ, H.265, and H.264 codecs. N-Log and Flat profiles offer grading flexibility, and HLG promotes direct HDR content creation.

High-Quality 10-Bit Video Recording

The camera is fitted with practical aids for videographers, including an indicator for active recording, a video-dedicated info display, and convenient tools like focus peaking and zebra stripes to aid in achieving precise focus and exposure.

Comprehensive Support Tools for Video Recording

Designed to be 30% smaller than the Z9, the Z8 is exceptionally suited for everyday shooting or professional uses when combined with the MB-N12 Power Battery Pack. Dual CFexpress Type B and UHS-II SD card slots support a variety of media and high-data rate tasks.

Ergonomic Design Tailored for Professionals

The Z8's electronic viewfinder boasts a high-resolution 3.69m-dot OLED display, adjustable luminance, and dual-stream technology for a blackout-free viewing experience, supported by a 120fps refresh rate for smooth real-time feedback.
