1. Camera magnification buttons and 11 speed functionality supported on the Z 30 and the Z fc.
2. These functions will be supported by a subsequent software update.
VR image stabilization keeps shots steady.
4.5 stops* of built-in optical VR (Vibration Reduction) counteracts shakiness for steadier videos, sharper photos and better low-light performance.
Close focusing.
Get as close as 11 inches from the lens and capture the fine details of jewelry, food, crafts, makeup—whatever you hold up to the camera.
Lightweight.
Compact.

Technology
|
Internal Zoom Mechanism With the internal zoom mechanism, the total length of the lens barrel is fixed. This keeps the lens’ center of gravity almost constant even during zooming |
Vibration Reduction A Nikon in-lens technology that improves image stability by automatically compensating for camera shake. Lenses that offer VR will feature the abbreviation VR on the lens barrel. |
|
Power Zoom The power zoom* has been designed in pursuit of light and responsive operational feel. This function achieves smooth zooming at a constant speed and various options for zoom operation including via remote-control capabilities. That ensures comfortable photo shooting and video recording. *With some cameras, this function is supported only via firmware update. |
ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass An optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations. |
|
Aspherical Lens A lens with a curved, non-spherical surface. Used to reduce aberrations and enable a more compact lens size. Aspherical lenses minimize coma and other types of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture. They are particularly useful in correcting distortion in wide-angle lenses and help contribute to a lighter, more compact design by reducing the number of standard (spherical) elements necessary. Aspherical lens elements correct these distortions by continuously changing the refractive index from the center of the lens. |
Electromagnetic Diaphragm Mechanism An electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism in the lens barrel provides highly accurate electronic diaphragm or aperture blade control when using auto exposure during continuous shooting. |
