Nikon's most advanced autofocus system.
A sophisticated AF algorithm developed using deep learning technology detects and tracks more subjects than any other mirrorless system, including people, cats, dogs, birds, airplanes, motorbikes, vehicles, bicycles, and trains, even in extreme low light. By combining subject detection and 3D tracking, the Z 8 can follow the fastest, most erratic subjects.
Wide-area AF offers 20 custom options for defining your focus area.* Ensure the bride and groom are in sharp focus, even when wedding guests are in the foreground.
