The company says that focus is immediately responsive and reliable and offers a range of functions from fully Auto-Area AF, Nikon 3D tracking, and a fully customizable Wide Area AF.

The Z8 is also able to shoot in a 10-bit HEIF file, which Nikon says is a superior file format to JPEG that is about equal in file size but with about one billion more colors. For shooting action, the Z8 features burst speeds that give 20 frames per second when shooting full-resolution RAW and JPEGs, 30 frames per second shooting full-resolution JPEGs, and 60 frames per second shooting cropped DX-format JPEGS., the Z8 can also shoot up to 120 frames per second at 11-megapixel JPEGs with high-speed frame capture plus. The Z8 also offers pre-release capture which starts its buffer before the shutter is depressed fully.

N-RAW, Nikon’s RAW video format, is approximately a 50% smaller file and also creates a 1080p proxy file designed to make editing easier. Nikon says that capturing RAW footage allows for the most image data and the highest bit rate for maximum range and flexibility.
