The Nikon ZF offers intuitive handling and controls for an enjoyable shooting experience.

Buttons and Dials

The ZF provides dedicated dials and buttons for quick access to key settings. On the top plate, you’ll find a mode dial to select between manual, aperture-priority, shutter-priority, and program auto modes, as well as scene and effects modes. There are also two control dials – one at the front and one at the rear – to adjust shutter speed, aperture and exposure compensation settings. Several function buttons can be customized to provide one-touch access to settings like ISO, white balance, and AF mode.

Viewfinder and Rear Screen

The ZF features a high-resolution electronic viewfinder (EVF) with 100% frame coverage, allowing you to compose shots accurately. The EVF’s refresh rate results in a smooth live view with minimal lag. The rear touchscreen tilts up and down and provides an intuitive interface for changing settings, reviewing photos, and pinch-zooming during playback.

Menu System

The ZF’s menu system is logically organized, with settings grouped under photo shooting, movie shooting, custom settings, setup, retouch, and My Menu tabs.

Frequently used options like image quality, AF mode and metering mode have dedicated spots at the top of the photo shooting menu for quick access. The custom settings menu allows you to tailor the ZF to your personal preferences. Throughout the menus, a helpful description of each setting is provided on the right side of the screen.

Overall, the Nikon ZF provides an ergonomic design, tactile controls, and user-friendly interface for an engaging shooting experience. With some customization of the function buttons and My Menu, the ZF can be optimized to suit your needs and shooting style.
