See it in action.
Set one criteria or use them together.
Motion
The Z 9 will take photos or start recording video when it detects motion. Specify the direction, speed or size of the subject to zero in on exactly the right shot.
Subject Detection
The Z 9 will take photos or start recording video when it detects your chosen subject—a person, animal or vehicle—within the frame.
Distance
The Z 9’s shutter releases when a subject is in a designated distance area.
Use Nikkor Z lenses for best results.
New
ISO 200 equivalent in N-LOG video.
A new Lo 2.0 setting (ISO 200 equivalent) for N-LOG captures more details in
shadows with extremely low noise. Even when your subject looks dark against
a bright background, you can reveal its details beautifully in post.
New
Smooth slow motion video, in-camera.
Record beautiful 4x and 5x 1080p slow motion footage straight to your memory card, no editing required.
Enhancement
More control over the speed of Hi-Res Zoom.
Select from 11 speed options (previously three) to give your zoom shot exactly the right feel.
Enhancement
Improved 3D-tracking for
small and fast subjects.
Firmware 4.0 further improves tracking persistence to let you focus on the
best moments.
Enhancement
More time to nail the decisive
moment with Pre-Release Capture.
Now you can keep Pre-Release Capture activated for up to 300 seconds.

Four new shutter sounds.
These sounds are for demonstration purposes only; actual shutter sounds may vary.
