In addition, dual SD card slots allow for flexible storage; ease of handling is ensured by the renowned ergonomics of the Nikon Z series, including a deep grip. The camera can also be powered via USB (USB Type-C to Type-C cable required), an ideal solution for long time-lapse recordings from your living room window, for example!
