The mirrorless Z mount system will be exhibited at the Nikon booth along with the NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S, a new NIKKOR Z S-Line high-performance, ultra-wide-angle zoom lens compatible with the Nikon Z mount system.

Displays of new features, including Eye AF and support for RAW video output which will be incorporated in new firmware being developed for the full frame mirrorless cameras Nikon Z 7 and Z 6, will take place as part of the Z series exhibition.

The Z series will continue to flexibly respond to changing user needs and offer next-generation imaging experiences that stimulate users' creative intentions.

New products to be exhibited

The NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S, an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens compatible with the Nikon Z mount system and is part of the S-Line

The NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S is a full-frame (Nikon FX-format), ultra-wide-angle zoom lens that covers the 14mm to 30mm range of focal lengths with a constant maximum aperture of f/4 throughout the range. The NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S is the world's first* full-frame lens to support direct filter attachment, despite starting at a 14mm focal length.

The combination of superior optical performance and compact size of this lens is made possible by the new Z mount system. The high-performance NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S, with its superior mobility and operability, enables users to enjoy a dynamic angle of view for still images and videos.

Display of cameras running new firmware

The following new features to be added to firmware that is currently being developed for the Z 7 and Z 6 will be displayed at CES 2019:

Eye AF
The Eye AF allows for the convenient detection of the subject’s eyes, making focusing easier. It will allow users to capture photos in which focus has been clearly acquired on the subject's eye, for situations such as portrait and street photography.

Support for RAW video output
Nikon is currently developing a feature that works with the ATOMOS Ninja V to output video in RAW format, using the ProRes RAW codec.

CFexpress
Coming soon to the Z 6 and Z 7 cameras is compatibility with CFexpress, which is compatible with XQD memory cards.

*  Among FX-format interchangeable lenses for digital cameras with interchangeable lenses with a focal range beginning at 14 mm or lower, available as of January 8, 2019. Statement based on Nikon research.
