S-Line: NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S

Enhanced movie recording performance achieved through

rigorous design

The NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S employs a control ring that can have various

functions assigned to it, such as focus (M/A*), aperture and exposure

compensation, ensuring smooth and quiet operation with an appropriate

amount of torque. Focus breathing (shifting of the angle of view when

adjusting focus) is eectively compensated for smoother movie recording. The

lens also incorporates various advanced movie functions, including smooth

diaphragm control that enables natural transitions in image brightness during

recording.

* M/A mode allows you to switch from autofocus to manual simply by rotating the control ring.

Other features and functions

• Highly accurate AF control for both still and movie shooting, thanks to

higher standards of lens design principles and minutely detailed lens

information enabled by high-speed, large-capacity communication between

camera and lens

• Stepping motor (STM) employed for quiet and responsive AF control

• Electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism provides accurate, stable aperture

control even during high-speed continuous shooting

Constant maximum aperture at f/4 throughout the zoom

range

The maximum aperture is ﬁxed at f/4 at any zoom setting. Photographers

can shoot at faster shutter speeds without raising sensitivity even for relatively

dark scenes. While many zoom lenses change the maximum aperture

according to focal length, this lens enables photographers to reﬂect their

intentions with exposure control.

World’s first* filter-attachable ultra-wide-angle zoom lens

covering a focal length from 14 mm

The NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S covers a focal length from 14 mm to 30 mm,

allowing it to deliver images with dynamic perspectives, as well as capture a

broad range of scenes. With its small diameter and slim front lens element,

it is the world’s ﬁrst* wide-angle zoom lens with a focal length from 14 mm

that is also ﬁlter-attachable. Photographers can shoot more creatively with

Polarizing or ND ﬁlters, which cannot be used with conventional lenses.

Because the lens can be protected with a ﬁlter or lens hood, is sealed for

dust- and drip-resistance and has a ﬂuorine coat applied to its front surface,

photographers can shoot more actively with ease.
