Step Up Your Vlogging Game

The Nikon Z30 is designed for creators with a story to tell. Whether you’ve got a product unboxing to feature on your channel or trying out a new recipe from a how-to guide, this digital camera is packed with industry-leading specs to give you an all-important creative edge. With the ability to produce the clarity, depth of field and high-quality sound characteristics of professional videographers, the Z30 is all about giving your followers more.

As an ultra-wide Z mount camera, the large DX-format 20.9 MP CMOS sensor can gather incomparable levels of light to give you the richer details smartphones could only dream of. Whether you’re shooting 4K UHD (30p) footage, timelapse movies or smooth slow-motion shots in Full HD (120p), the Z30 uses the entire width of its sensor to provide a 100% field of view that makes framing yourself and your subject incredibly easy. Thanks to the impressive ISO range (to ISO 25600 for video and ISO 51200 for stills), video and photos also look clean and sharp even in low-light conditions, so you can shoot from dusk to dawn without taking a hit on the quality.

Comfortable and Customisable Controls

The Z30 is perfect for vlogging and selfies thanks to its incredibly tactile 3-inch Vari-angle touchscreen monitor. When facing the screen forwards, this camera instantly activates self-portrait mode and clears the screen for an unobstructed view free from all the settings and parameters. Combined with a feat of engineering on such a small camera, the deep grip allows stable handheld shooting, even at arm’s length.

Whatever the angle, the record button on the camera's top is always right where you want it. Press it down and watch as a clear red border appears around the display to indicate that you’re recording. And, with Nikon’s e-VR, you can keep video footage looking nice and steady.

All your favourite settings for both video and stills can be stored on the camera to eliminate the need for constant reconfiguration. You can assign favourite menu items to the instantly accessible i-Menu and save frequently used settings to the camera’s Fn buttons or the U1/U2/U3 positions on the mode dial.

User-Friendly Automatic Modes

Nobody wants to feel like a tech noob trying to tackle tricky lighting, noisy environments and lots of hustle and bustle. The Z 30 has advanced automatic functions, making it easier than ever to exert creative control without breaking a sweat. Capture the action whilst on the move or even confidently shoot in the shade with full-time AF for video, Eye- and Animal-Detection AF and Auto Exposure modes. These features compensate for inconvenient technological faux pas and ensure your subject always looks good.

Get Connected and Go Live

Upgrading to the Z30 lets you keep your smartphone busy using the Nikon SnapBridge app instead. With Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, you can quickly transfer 4K videos or photos with hashtags to your phone. This makes updating your social channels with professional content that will engage your followers incredibly easy.

Or, if you’re more into taking your followers along for the ride, you can use the USB Type-C cable to provide constant power to the Z30 and start your journey into live streaming. To achieve the sharpest, best-looking footage online, simply attach a NIKKOR Z lens and hook your Z30 to a computer with the free Nikon Webcam Utility installed.
