Since the release of the Nikon Z f camera, many people have expressed their ignorance about this camera, and below we will use snapshots and videos to evaluate the Nikon Z f camera, which has been very popular due to its classic design and stable performance, especially the monochrome picture control function.
1. Three new monochrome image control functions
Shooting equipment: Nikon Z f + Nikkor Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 Shooting environment: Focal length 50mm aperture F6.3 1/200 sec. ISO100 AWB Image control: Dark tone monochrome
The two new monochrome Picture Controls installed on the Nikon Z f camera are "Flat Monochrome" and "Flat Monochrome", with the former having low-contrast pastel tones and pastel images, and the latter having mid-tone undertones that give a chic overall impression, but for red, this is a "dark monochrome" that creates characteristic shades with high blue sensitivity and low blue sensitivity.

If you combine this with the traditional "monochrome" mode, you can enjoy three types of monochrome modes. Other Z models can be updated to use the new monochrome Picture Control, but this camera has "Still Image/Video Picture Control" that allows you to take monochrome photos with a single click, and it comes with a special lever called the selector.

2. Snapshot color version
The image processing engine is equipped with EXPEED 7, the same as the Z 9 and Z 8, and is also effective for shooting moving objects.

Many people prefer to wear it on their shoulders or around their necks rather than putting it in their camera bag. The front and top covers of the camera body are made of magnesium alloy, which is impact-resistant, dust- and splash-proof, as well as the Z 8. However, that doesn't mean it won't be damaged no matter what you do, so be kind to your camera and put it away when it's crowded or in bad weather.
3. Indoor shooting in aquariums and other areas
Shooting equipment: Nikon Z f + Nikkor Z MC 50mm f/2.8 Shooting environment: Focal length 50mm aperture F3.8 (effective F-number/maximum aperture shooting) 1/250 sec. ISO2000 AWB Image control: Vivid
When we take photos in the aquarium, the shutter speed and ISO sensitivity setting dials on the top of the camera are very convenient for us, especially in dark aquariums, you don't want the large LCD screen on the rear to be too bright, so it is useful to have a physical watch face that can be checked and operated at a glance. And this dial is made of brass, so it feels very pleasant to the touch, making it even more fun to release the shutter.

Fourth, summary
Inspired by the appearance of the FM2, this Nikon Z f camera combines high performance with the features of a high-end model, making it a camera that makes shooting fun, and is recommended not only for those who want to make the transition to a full-frame camera, but also for those who want to make the transition to a full-frame camera.
