Nikon Z50 – Photograph Overview

In abstract

The Z50 is a pleasant little digital camera that’s enjoyable to make use of and surprisingly succesful. Its management structure will likely be acquainted to photographers who already use Nikon DSLRs.

The Z50 doesn’t have a sensor-shake mud removing and at this there’s an absence of devoted lenses, nonetheless at its worth level the Z50 is kind of aggressive with regards to options and efficiency. The dual-lens package is even higher worth.

Full overview

Introduced in October 2019, Nikon’s 20.9-megapixel Z50 is the corporate’s first APS-C mirrorless digital camera. Curiously, like Sony, Nikon has opted to make use of the identical lens mount for each its cropped-sensor and ‘full-frame’ Z-mount cameras, which provides each firms a bonus over Canon, which makes use of completely different mounts. The part-metal, part-polycarbonate physique of the brand new digital camera resembles a downscaled Z6/Z7. It’s additionally noticeably smaller and lighter – and barely much less weatherproof.

So far, the one two devoted lenses out there are the Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR and Nikkor Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR. Many re-sellers are providing the Z50 as the dual lens package proven under and each have been supplied for this overview and are reviewed individually. Each embody VR stabilisation, making up for the shortage of in-built-image-stabilisation (IBIS) within the digital camera physique.

The one different Z-mount DX lens on the most recent Nikon Z mount lens roadmap (proven under) is an 18-140mm DX ‘journey zoom’ however no additional particulars have been supplied concerning its specs or availability. No prime lenses have been listed and there’s no large angle zoom.

Homeowners of different DX Nikkor lenses can use them on the Z50 physique with the Nikon FTZ lens mount adapter. However it can add 135 grams to the general weight and about 80 mm to the size of the lens, which partly negates the benefits of the smaller, lighter digital camera physique.

Who’s it For?
Nikon seems to be focusing on this digital camera at smartphone upgraders and ‘vloggers’ (for whom it even affords a vloggers package) however the Z50 has lots to advocate it to different photographers, together with fanatics, because of a complete suite of controls. The scaled-down physique and cheaper price of the Z50 will likely be engaging to customers of Nikon’s D7500 and D500 cameras who desire a extra compact, lighter digital camera with out sacrificing taking pictures capabilities or imaging efficiency. It can even be a better option for individuals who take pleasure in taking pictures video.

If Nikon can fill out the vary of Z-mount DX lenses pretty shortly, the Z50 could be a good selection for anybody trying to get into the interchangeable-lens digital camera (ILC) market, notably those that desire a totally trendy digital camera system with minimal compromises and an inexpensive price ticket. And not using a first rate vary of lenses – together with some quick, high-quality primes and fanatic/professional stage zooms – this digital camera will lack the flexibility to compete with cropped-sensor cameras from different producers (particularly Sony).

Though the Z50 is a pleasant little digital camera, Nikon’s designers have needed to implement quite a lot of compromises to maintain its dimension, weight and worth down amd make it aggressive. This, included changing the total inside metallic chassis within the Z6 and Z7 our bodies with a body that makes use of magnesium-alloy for a lot of the entrance and prime panels however solely a part of the perimeters and base, which has resulted in diminished weatherproofing.

A number of the nicer options of the ‘full body’ cameras have additionally been both diminished or misplaced. For instance, the in-body sensor-shift stabilisation (IBIS) has been distributed with in favour of the Twin Detect Optical VR system, which was launched within the Coolpix P900 again in 2015.

Utilizing algorithms optimised to particular lenses, it takes information from the 2 angular velocity sensors within the lens and determines how a lot compensation is required to offset the digital camera’s shake. The ensuing info is handed again to the pair of voice coil motors that transfer chosen lens components to compensate for the detected movement.

With out sensor-shift stabilisation, the Z50 additionally lacks any bodily type of mud discount. As a substitute, customers should depend on recording a reference body with the Picture Mud Off reference perform within the setup menu. The bundled Seize NX-D software program can be utilized to delete the mud patches in subsequent pictures, supplied they continue to be in the identical place.

The joystick management featured on the Z6 and Z7 rear panels is lacking from the Z50. As a substitute, it’s a must to use the arrow pad to shift the AF level/space and press the OK button to centre it.  This may be troublesome to try this whereas trying via the viewfinder. Different bodily modifications embody the removing of the AF mode/choice button; it’s a must to assign this perform to one of many entrance Perform (Fn) buttons. Additionally lacking is GPS help.

Construct and Ergonomics
In contrast with the Z6 and Z7, the Z50 is remarkably small, as might be seen from the desk under that compares key options of the Z50 and Z6. (The Z6 and Z7 have the identical sized our bodies.) It additionally exhibits shared – and diverging – options.

The smaller physique has necessitated a number of design modifications with respect to the location of key controls. Nonetheless, the Z50 boasts a big and cozy grip and most buttons are the place you’d anticipate finding them. The entrance panel is sort of similar to the Z6 however provides an embedded self-time/AF-assist LED between the grip and the lens mount.

On the highest panel, the mode dial has been shifted to the fitting of the EVF housing, the place it replaces the Z6’s LCD information panel. The mode dial has additionally been tailored to raised swimsuit the on a regular basis photographer, with the alternative of one of many three Consumer reminiscences by a SCN (scene presets) mode. An EFCT (Results) mode has additionally been added.

The stills/film lever change has additionally been relocated from the highest of the rear panel to beneath the mode dial on the highest panel, liberating up rear panel house. Shifting it to the film setting will reset the digital camera to a 16:9 side ratio for stills taking pictures as effectively. In any other case, the structure is unchanged.

The rear panel controls have additionally been simplified, enabling most controls to be reached by the fingers of the person’s proper hand. Extra contact controls have been applied to make up for the removing of the Z6/Z7 joystick which suggests the zoom in, zoom out and DISP buttons at the moment are built-in into the fitting hand facet of the monitor panel. (In the event you discover that inconvenient, you possibly can program one of many configurable buttons to take over one among these capabilities.)

To the fitting of the monitor you’ll discover the common arrow pad with 4 buttons under it. The highest pair function the Information and Menu capabilities, whereas under them are the Play and Delete buttons.

Urgent the Information button opens a 12-item ‘fast’ menu which, by default, accessed the next settings: Image Management, white stability, picture high quality, picture dimension, flash mode, metering, Wi-Fi connection, Lively D-Lighting, launch mode, Optical VR, AF-area mode and focus mode. Particular person gadgets might be changed with different choices through Customized Setting f1 in the primary menu.

The AF/AE lock button is within the standard place on the prime proper nook of the monitor display screen, whereas the EVF/LCD change lies to the left of the EVF housing. This button can be utilized to guard a picture whereas it’s being displayed in playback mode.

This illustration exhibits the approximate tilt vary of the D50’s monitor display screen. (Supply: Nikon.)

The monitor stays hinged, as it’s on the Z6/Z7 our bodies. But it surely extends a little bit additional, as proven above, tilting up by a little bit over 90 levels for waist-level taking pictures and, despite the fact that it’s imagined to tilt down by 180 levels and level ahead, on the overview digital camera the perfect we might handle was about 170 levels. Both method, you possibly can’t tilt the display screen down when the digital camera is on a tripod, monopod or gimbal.

Tilting the lens down robotically units the digital camera up for self-portrait taking pictures. On this mode, customers can alter the publicity compensation and self-timer settings through the touch-screen buttons and in addition focus and set off the shutter utilizing contact controls. Tilting the display screen up disengages self-portrait mode.

As standard in an entry-level digital camera, the battery and reminiscence card share a compartment within the base of the grip moulding. We discovered it a fairly tight match. In contrast to the Z6/Z7, the Z50 depends upon SD playing cards and is just appropriate with UHS-I media. The battery is charged through a provided MH-32 journey charger and USB 2.0 cable (which will also be used to cost the battery whereas it’s within the digital camera through a USB energy supply).

Sensor and Picture Processing
The 23.5 x 15.7 mm, 20.9-megapixel sensor is basically the identical chip as Nikon has used within the D500 and D7500, though some minor tweaks have been required to adapt it for the mirrorless physique. Part-detection pixels have been built-in into each 12^th row in an analogous method to what Nikon has accomplished within the Z6 and Z7 to reinforce the contrast-based AF system.

The sensor is paired with the most recent EXPEED 6 processor, which additionally seems within the Z6, Z7, D780 and up-coming D6 digital camera. It largely accounts for the large ISO vary (natively ISO 100-51200), quick (as much as 11 fps) burst speeds and comparatively excessive buffer capability within the new digital camera.

Like most of Nikon’s fundamental ILC cameras, the Z50 helps two recording codecs for stills: JPEG and NEF.RAW, though with solely 3:2, 16:9 and 1:1 side ratios selectable, achieved via cropping the native 3:2 side ratio body. Three JPEG picture sizes (giant, medium and small) can be found plus 12- or 14-bit lossless compression for uncooked information. Typical picture sizes for the three side ratios are proven within the desk under.

In contrast to the Z6 and Z7, the Z50 doesn’t supply a alternative between Optimum High quality and Fastened Measurement for JPEGs and there’s no choice to document uncompressed NEF.RAW information, solely the selection of bit depths (with the idea of lossless compression). The desk under exhibits approximate file sizes and buffer capacities for photographs recorded with the three:2 side ratio.

Sensitivity choices are additionally restricted, with a local vary of ISO 100-51200 however no downward extension, though upward extension extends a cease additional than for the Z6 to a most of ISO 204800. As anticipated for an entry-level digital camera, the Z50 offers a variety of each Scene and Results modes, though critical fanatics will doubtless keep away from them.

Image Controls are a unique matter and the usual Auto, Normal, Impartial, Vivid, Monochrome, Portrait and Panorama settings are supplied, together with a Flat management, which reduces distinction to document a wider dynamic vary and is beneficial for recording video that will likely be post-processed. The extra Artistic Image Controls are most likely finest averted by critical photographers.

Video
A lever beneath the mode dial switches between stills and film modes, partaking Stay View when the film mode is chosen. Film recording is triggered by urgent the little pink button simply behind the shutter button. A second press ends the recording.

Like different present Nikon cameras, the Z50 offers a alternative between MOV and MP4 recording codecs with two high quality settings: excessive and regular. Customers can select from the recording choices proven within the desk under:

Curiously, all video recordings are made by downsampling pixels from the total width of the sensor; not by cropping the body, so the identical focal size settings are retained for stills and flicks. Peaking and zebra shows can be found for monitoring focus and publicity ranges, whereas each optical VR and digital VR might be enabled to make sure minimal shake throughout recording.

A 3.5 mm stereo microphone jack is supplied for accent mics, which might be fitted to the hotshoe atop the EVF housing. However there’s no headphone jack for monitoring audio recordings whereas taking pictures. The HDMI port helps uncompressed video out and the Atomos Ninja V robotically recognises the Z50 when it’s related.

Nonetheless frames might be recorded when the digital camera is in film mode by merely urgent the shutter button when the default Launch mode (save body) is chosen within the film taking pictures menu. As much as 40 fine-quality JPEG stills might be recorded with a clip. The body dimension and determination are the identical as chosen for the present film setting, though we discovered the ensuing JPEGs have been recorded at 300 ppi, which is healthier than the same old default 72 ppi JPEG setting.

Playback and Software program
The Z50 affords the identical fundamental playback settings as different Nikon cameras with related touchscreen capabilities and in-camera retouching choices to the D850. The overview digital camera was provided with no printed person’s handbook and, as standard, the software program should be downloaded from Nikon’s obtain centre, the place you may as well obtain a PDF model of the person’s handbook.

The usual Nikon software program is the ViewNX-i browser/fundamental editor and Seize NX-D, the beneficial uncooked file processor. Additionally out there are Nikon’s Digicam Management Professional 2 and Image Management Utility 2 packages. NEF.RAW information from the Z50 are supported by the most recent variations of Adobe Digicam Uncooked (v12.1 on), our most well-liked uncooked file converter.

A Community Information can be out there to assist customers with the digital camera’s Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities and supply recommendation on utilizing the non-obligatory WT-7 wi-fi transmitter. There’s additionally a downloadable information to N-Log video recording, despite the fact that the digital camera doesn’t help it.

Efficiency
General, we have been impressed by the efficiency of the Z50 digital camera and its two package lenses. JPEGs recorded with each lenses have been capable of exceed expectations close to the centre of the body and, whereas JPEGs from the 16-50mm lens got here near expectations in the direction of the perimeters of the body, with the 50-250mm they met, and at occasions exceeded expectations. NEF.RAW frames have been transformed into 16-bit TIFF format with Adobe Digicam Uncooked (our most well-liked uncooked file converter) and, in every case, produced greater decision.

Decision for each file sorts peaked on the ‘native’ ISO 100 setting, after which they declined step by step, as proven within the graph of our Imatest outcomes above. Color accuracy was usually superb and JPEGs confirmed restrained saturation.

Lengthy exposures at night time contained loads of element, with noise solely changing into seen at ISO 25600. By ISO 51200, noise was apparent in highlights and shadowed areas had begun to dam up. The 2 highest ISO settings have been clearly noise-affected and confirmed granularity coupled with a discount in dynamic vary and deteriorating color constancy. Curiously, we additionally discovered some obvious noise in indoor pictures taken beneath synthetic lighting at ISO 3200, which means that noise is prone to be extra seen in low-contrast conditions than when there’s a extra ‘regular’ distinction vary.

Though the output from the built-in GN 7 flash was comparatively weak, it managed to ship well-balanced exposures at a focal size of 50mm between ISO 400 and ISO 51200. Flash exposures at ISO 100 have been about 1.5 stops under-exposed, whereas these taken on the two highest ISO settings confirmed a robust cyan solid.

Slight softening appeared at ISO 12800 and elevated via to ISO 51200, though pictures taken at these settings would nonetheless be usable. We wouldn’t advocate utilizing flash with the Hi1 and Hi2 settings.

Like its ‘full body’ siblings, the Z50 has three auto white stability settings. The default A1 setting ‘retains the general ambiance’, whereas the A0 setting is designed to maintain whites by lowering heat colors and the A2 setting retains ‘heat lighting colors’.

All three settings delivered impartial (or near impartial) color rendition beneath fluorescent lighting and with the digital camera’s built-in flash. Nonetheless, the A0 setting didn’t take away the nice and cozy casts from pictures taken beneath incandescent and warm-toned LED lighting, whereas the A2 setting appeared to reinforce them.

There’s no white stability pre-set for LED lighting and the presets for tungsten and fluorescent lighting tended to over-correct. Like most trendy cameras, the Z50 offers loads of in-camera changes for tweaking colors on-the-fly and they’re simple to make use of, notably when accessed via the i button’s fast menu.

Autofocusing was largely fast and correct in regular mild ranges and lighting situations – together with indoors beneath synthetic lighting. So long as an edge might be discovered to focus upon, it was additionally fairly quick for our night time pictures, together with for the 30-second exposures.

We discovered little or no change to autofocusing in film mode. Regardless that there’s no method to  alter the AF system to completely different situations, we discovered it capable of maintain monitor of topics as they moved throughout the body and fairly fast to choose up on new topics as they entered the body. The one blurring we discovered was with topics that have been transferring quicker than the recording’s body charge.

Our timing checks have been carried out with a 32GB SanDisk Excessive SDHC U3 reminiscence card, which was provided with the overview digital camera and claims a knowledge transmission pace of 90 MB/second. As soon as the lens was unlocked and in a taking pictures place, it took roughly 1.5 seconds for the digital camera to power-up prepared for taking pictures.

Seize lag averaged 0.35 seconds however was diminished to a mean of 0.15 seconds when pictures have been pre-focused in addition to in handbook focus mode. On common it took 0.45 seconds to course of every JPEG and a fraction extra for a 14-bit NEF.RAW file.

Shot-to-shot occasions within the single-shot mode averaged 0.5 seconds. We discovered no situations of the digital camera pausing whereas pictures have been processed.

The Z50 offers two excessive pace steady taking pictures settings. The common setting can document at 5 frames/second with autofocusing supported however publicity locked on the primary body. We recorded 21 frames in 4.2 seconds, which is near specs. Processing was accomplished inside 13.6 seconds of the final body recorded.

Within the Steady Excessive (Prolonged) mode the body charge will increase to 11 fps and focus and publicity are locked on the primary body. Flash and flicker discount aren’t out there.

In our checks, we recorded 65 Giant/Nice JPEG frames in 8.6 seconds with no indicators of hesitation.  This equates to roughly eight frames/second, which is effectively under specification for this mode. It took nearly one minute to finish the processing of this burst.

There was no vital change to the body charge once we swapped to 14-bit uncooked file seize and the buffer capability was diminished to 33 frames, which have been recorded in 4.7 seconds. As soon as once more, processing took slightly below one minute.
With 12-bit RAW+Giant/Regular JPEG seize, the identical body charge was maintained however the buffer capability elevated to 36 frames, which have been recorded in 4.9 seconds.  As soon as once more, processing took slightly below one minute.

The continual low pace mode permits customers to pick out body charges between one and 4 frames/second with focus and publicity changes between frames and flash and flicker-reduction out there. Buffer depths prolong to the restrict of card capability.
