45.7 MP Stacked BSI CMOS Sensor
The core of the Z 9 is the newly developed FX-format 45.7MP BSI stacked CMOS sensor. Its stacked design offers fast readout speeds and helps to reduce rolling shutter, and the BSI design contributes to impressive clarity and minimal noise when working at higher sensitivities. At 45.7MP, it’s also a high-resolution chip that benefits landscape, portraiture, and other detail-oriented genres, as well as enables recording video at resolutions up to 8K. The full-frame BSI design is known for exquisite color and detail rendering, too, and this sensor offers a native ISO 64-25600 range, that can be expanded to ISO 32-102400.
EXPEED 7 Image Processor
Complementing the sensor is an advanced processing engine, the EXPEED 7, which offers speeds approximately 10x faster than a Z 7II. This engine works in conjunction with the stacked sensor design to realize impressively fast AF speeds, burst shooting rates, a high buffer capacity, fluid video performance, and quick all-around handling.
Fast and accurate autofocus: The Z9 boasts Nikon’s best autofocus system yet, with subject recognition for people, animals, and vehicles. It can track subjects at high frame rates, making it ideal for action photography.
Excellent low-light performance: With an ISO range of 64-25600, the Z9 can take clear pictures even in low-light conditions.
High-speed continuous shooting: The Z9 can shoot at up to 20 frames per second in RAW format, which is perfect for capturing fast-moving subjects.
8K video recording: The Z9 is a powerful video camera as well, capable of recording 8K video at up to 30 frames per second.
Durable build: The Z9 is built to withstand tough conditions, with weather sealing and a magnesium alloy body.
Large viewfinder and tilting touchscreen: The Z9 has a high-resolution electronic viewfinder and a tilting touchscreen LCD for comfortable shooting and image playback.
