    Nikon Z30 Sensor and Photography Features

    Nikon Z30 has a 21.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Expeed 6 processor. You can shoot at maximum resolution of 5568 x 3712 pixels with aspect ratios of 1:1, 3:2 and 16:9. Z30 has a native ISO range of 100 - 51200 which can be boosted to 204800 and it can save files in RAW format which gives you a wider room for post processing.

    Nikon Z30 is not the highest resolution APS-C camera. Fujifilm X-T5 with its 40.2MP sensor is leading in this class. Check the comparison of Nikon Z30 vs Fujifilm X-T5 or take a look at Highest resolution Mirrorless cameras list.

    Anti-Aliasing Filter

    Another important feature about Nikon Z30's sensor is the lack of anti-alias (Low-pass) filter. Removing anti-aliasing filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but on the other side it also increases the chance of moiré occurring in certain scenes.

    Let's look at how the size of the Nikon Z30's APS-C sensor compares with other standard sensor sizes.

    Nikon Z30 Sensor Size Comparison
    Comparison image of Nikon Z30 Sensor Size with other standard sensors



    Nikon Z30 LCD

    Nikon Z30 has a Fully Articulated 3.00-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1,040k dots. Articulated screens are more video oriented compared to only tilting or fixed screens. On the other hand, photography oriented users generally prefer tilting screens. Both the screen size and the screen resolution is up to the standards of this class.

    LCD is Touch screen type, so you can change the settings and set the focus point with your fingertips.

    Nikon Z30 back view and LCD

    For those of you who loves shooting selfies, self or group photos, Nikon Z30 will make your life easier with its Selfie friendly screen. Another group of users who will take advantage of Z30's LCD screen are Vloggers and any video creators who are working in a single-person setup.

    Z30 doesn't have a viewfinder and no option for external viewfinder. Lack of a viewfinder can be problematic especially under strong light where visibility of LCD screens goes down dramatically. If you need a Mirrorless camera with a built-in viewfinder in a similar price range, consider Sony Alpha A7R II (Compare) or Fujifilm X-S10 (Compare).
    Alternatively, check here the list of all Mirrorless cameras with viewfinder..

    Nikon Z30 Connectivity, Storage and Battery

    Nikon Z30 features built-in wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity ( 802.11ac + Bluetooth) which lets you transfer your photos directly to compatible devices without any physical connection. Nikon Z30's Bluetooth connectivity feature comes handy for connecting other devices that supports it. One other feature that we like is the ability to use our smartphone as a remote to control our Z30. You can change camera settings, release shutter, view LCD screen and tranfer files using remote control app.

    You can connect Z30 to compatible devices via its HDMI port or USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 GBit/sec) port.

    Nikon Z30 also features USB charging capability which let's you charge your camera via a usb cable without removing the battery.

    Nikon Z30 Battery

    Nikon Z30 is powered by EN-EL25 battery which provides a battery life of 330 shots according to CIPA standards. Considering that the average battery life of Mirrorless type cameras is 389 shots, Nikon Z30 has a short battery life for its class so we strongly recommend Z30 owners to invest in some extra batteries.

    Nikon Z30 Video Features

    With Nikon Z30, you can record your videos at a highest resolution of 3840 x 2160 at 30p,25p,24p fps and save in MPEG-4 and H.264 formats. Nikon Z30's 4K is the common standard resolution in consumer video world.

    Video Resolutions Comparison Chart

    A great advantage of Nikon Z30 while shooting video at resolution of 4K is that there is no crop factor so you can use your lens at its actual focal length.



     Video

    No Video Recording Limit

    Nikon Z30 doesn't have the 30 minutes max video recording limitation that many cameras have, so you can keep recording non-stop until either your storage is full or battery is depleted or the camera over-heats.


    High-Speed Video

    Z30 features a high speed mode where it captures videos at 120fps which helps to create slow motion videos. If you shoot a video at a frame rate of 120fps and play it back at 24fps, the video will be 5x slower and longer than normal.


    Microphones, Speaker and Headphone Connections

    Nikon Z30 has a built-in Stereo microphone and a Mono speaker. Nikon Z30 also has a port for an external microphone so you can record high quality sound with the help of an external microphone. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a headphone port though.

    Electronic Video Stabilization

    Nikon Z30 also features an Digital Video Stabilization mode where videos are stabilized in-camera while you are shooting. Keep in mind that this effect may crop your videos a little bit and doesn't help stabilizing still images. This kind of video stabilization effect can be replicated by using some of the advanced video editing softwares in your PC.

    Nikon Z30 Other Features

    Max Shutter speed

    Nikon Z30 can shoot continuously at max speed of 11.0 fps and has max shutter speed of 1/4000 sec.

    Flash

    Unfortunately Z30 doesn't have a built-in flash but it has a flash shoe for mounting external flashes.

    Focusing

    Nikon Z30 features both Contrast Detection and Phase Detection autofocus (AF) systems which ensures speed and accuracy of focusing in most situations. The AF system has 209 points to choose from.

    Nikon Z30 also features Face detection AF where it intelligently detects the faces in the frame and locks the focus automatically. In addition to the face detect AF, Z30 has a more sophisticated feature called Eye Tracking AF which detects and locks focus to the selected eye of the person in the frame accurately and tracks as the subject moves. Eye tracking AF of Nikon Z30 is a perfect feature for shooting portraits and is especially useful when fast lenses are used and the depth of field is very narrow.
