With the optional Mount Adapter FTZ, Z series cameras are fully compatible with over 90 F-Mount Nikkor lenses, which retain all their sharpness, rendering power and functionality.

Innovation
The most advanced
imaging system available.
The technology may be all new, but the ingenuity is all Nikon.
Brains and
beauty
Expeed 6, the most advanced Nikon image processing yet, powers breathtaking image quality, liberating low-light performance and versatile video capabilities.
Small and
mighty
Mirrorless design and an impossibly short flange distance—65% shorter—allows for smaller lenses, thinner bodies and new optical formulas, including lenses with a maximum aperture of f/0.95.
Mount Adapter FTZ
Unconventional
compatibility
Seamless compatibility with beloved F-Mount Nikkor lenses*, Speedlights and other DSLR accessories as well as new Nikkor Z lenses.
*With optional Mount Adapter FTZ
Rock-steady
with any lens
A 5-axis optical VR system is built right into Z series cameras for up to 5 stops* of image stabilization when using Nikkor Z lenses and up to 3-axis VR when using F-Mount Nikkor lenses. Additional electronic VR (e-VR) can be combined during video capture.
*Based on CIPA Standards. This value is achieved when the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S lens is attached, with zoom set at the maximum telephoto position.

*As of August 23, 2018
**Illustrative purposes only. Not to scale.
65% slimmer flange*
By seemingly breaking the laws of optics with just 16mm of flange distance, Nikon can now deliver smaller and lighter cameras and lens designs while achieving unprecedented optical superiority and flexibility.
