The Z 9 has the same 45.7 MP resolution as the Z 7 and Z 7II cameras, but uses a much faster stacked CMOS sensor which improves autofocus and continuous shooting performance.[1][2] The continuous shooting capabilities of the Z 9 significantly exceed those of Nikon's previous Nikon D6 while providing more than double the resolution. The Z 9 is the first Nikon Z camera to support 8K video, which can be recorded internally at 60 fps in 12-bit N-RAW.
The Z 9 is the first flagship full-frame camera without a mechanical shutter.[3]
Features
- "Synchro VR" where both in-body and in-lens image stabilization can stabilize the same axes.
- Burst lengths of over 1000 shots (previous Nikon cameras were limited to at most 200 shots per burst).
- Internal 10-bit video recording in H.264, H.265 and ProRes 422 HQ (also supports HLG and Nikon N-Log).
- Internal 12-bit raw video recording using ProRes RAW HQ (up to 4.1K at 60 fps) and Nikon proprietary N-RAW (up to 8.3K at 60 fps).
- Video recording length not limited to 30 minutes by firmware.
- Dedicated "sensor shield" to protect the sensor from dust and dirt when the camera is off or the lens taken off.
- 10-pin remote and flash sync connectors.
- Built-in GPS, GLONASS and QZSS receiver for geotagging.
- Allows switching between linear and non-linear focus throw in manual focus with some lenses.[4]
- "Dual-Stream Technology" providing separate paths for capturing images and updating the viewfinder, which eliminates viewfinder blackout and reduces viewfinder lag.
