The Nikon Z30 is a purpose-built mirrorless camera optimized for vloggers and live streamers. Pairing Nikon's noteworthy image quality, 4K video recording, and a large 20.9MP DX-format sensor with a specialized feature set and design, the Z30 is designed to elevate your content and tag along on your everyday adventures. At the heart of the camera is a DX-format 20.9MP CMOS sensor, which benefits not only video production needs but also makes the Z30 a highly capable stills camera, too. Continuous recording for up to 2 hours and 15 minutes is possible for documenting events or any other situation that requires longer continuous takes. For longer takes, streaming, and other instances where you need constant power, the Z30 can be powered via the USB Type-C port. The large DX-format sensor benefits from 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. Merging stills and video, in-camera time-lapse production is possible. The compact body design incorporates a 3.0" 1.04m-dot free-angle LCD screen.

This positionable screen can face forward for accurate selfie compositions and can close inward to protect the screen from scratches and fingerprints when not in use. The front red tally lamp clearly indicates when the camera is recording. Steady your handheld videos using digital e-VR image stabilization, which helps to reduce unwanted wobbles and shakes while recording. Eye Detection AF uses facial recognition to help lock focus onto subjects' eyes. 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. The intuitive design includes a '?' button to provide a clear explanation of all camera settings, there is a dedicated Auto mode for times when you'd rather the camera optimize the shooting settings, and there's a customizable 'i' menu for quick access to your essential settings.
