Doha: Pioneers in imaging technology and camera equipment, Nikon has launched its first ever full-frame mirror-less Z series in Qatar with two brilliant cameras, the Z6 and Z7 along with its incredible Z mount system. 

The exciting launch event was held on July 11, 2019 at the Intercontinental Doha, The City. The latest cameras from the imaging solutions giant are ideal for the upcoming videographers and video houses of the region. 

Both the mirrorless cameras, Nikon Z7 and Z6, have been carefully designed prioritizing the needs of videographers, making them ideal for capturing striking, sharp stills and videos with brilliant clarity. 

The revolutionary Z mount is wider than any full-frame mount available. Albert Yap, founder of Motion In Style Cinematography, one of the best wedding cinematography production houses in Malaysia, was the honourable guest speaker at this stimulating launch.

The Nikon Z Series is an innovative full-frame mirrorless camera system that combines advanced video features with legendary Nikon reliability and optical excellence. Attendees were invited to see for themselves the advanced features the Z Series offers, including 4K UHD recording, Time Code, focus peaking, uncompressed HDMI output, N-Log and more. 

In addition to its advanced content capture capabilities, the Nikon Z Series offers a range of features that seek to enhance the video workflow and offer ultimate creative control in post-production, such as 10-bit HDMI output, N-Log, Time Code and focus peaking, making the Nikon Z perfect for the rapidly growing industry of videographers and filmmakers in Qatar.

Nikon Z7 is genuinely a leap into the future of video as it is the first ever FX-format mirrorless camera with high-megapixel of 45.7. With a focus point of 493 that covers 90 per cent of the viewfinder and a new EXPEED 6 image processing engine for more precise, more focused pictures, it also allows continuous shooting up to 9 frames per second (fps) in burst mode. Nikon Z6 offers unmatched video features for full frame video recording with its ergonomic design that enables superior high-sensitivity performance. 

It makes for much better photography experiences in a wide range of shooting scenarios even in low light, with its 24.5 megapixels. With 273 focus points covering 90 per cent of the image area, it is a quick capture camera offering 12 frames per second (fps) in continuous running mode. Both Z7 and Z6 are equipped with an all-new backside illumination full-frame and Nikon FX-format CMOS sensor with built-in focal-plane phase-detection AF pixels.

With the latest Z mount and its large inner diameter and short flange focal distance, and the latest NIKKOR Z lenses, these cameras can deliver improved low-light performance and edge-to-edge detail in both stills and video. 

The Nikon Z mount system takes the performance of these superb new mirrorless cameras a notch higher with its large lens mount which features a 55mm inner diameter and short 16mm flange focal distance that allows for much higher flexibility in the optical design of NIKKOR Z lenses; making maximum apertures as wide as f/0.95 possible.
