An intuitive AF algorithm has been optimized for the Z6’s FX-format sensor so that the camera switches between focal-plane phase-detect AF and contrast-detect AF in order to fine-tune your focus and give you the best image every time. With smart subject tracking, you will be able to smoothly track your subject’s face among the crowd thanks to the Auto Area AF.

Made for Movies
