Digital Camera Description

The Nikon Z50 is a Mirrorless Digital Camera with an APS-C sensor and a Nikon Z lens mount. Its 20 Megapixels CMOS sensor offers an ISO 100-51200 sensitivity range which is expandable to ISO 100-204800. This makes it possible to shoot hand-held in very low-light. With 20 MP of resolution, sharp prints are possible up to 23" x 15" at 240 DPI.

This camera features a hybrid shutter that can expose for 1/4000 to 30s. Bulb exposures of an unspecified duration are possible with this camera. With a fastest shutter-speed of 1/4000, fast action can easily be frozen. Night photography is possible using this digital camera due to its long exposure capability. This camera model offers Full Manual Controls.

The Nikon Z50 features a 209-point Phase-Detect AF system. Autofocus can continuously adjust according to subject distance. A Real-Time Autofocus Tracking System allows focus to follow a moving subject within the frame. Manual Focus is also available.
