4.  How will the Nikon Z fc make me a better photographer?

The Nikon Z fc may be fun to shoot, and feel great in your hands, but it’s packing a bunch of high tech features that make it easy to take amazing shots.  Here are just a few:
20.9 megapixel APS-C (DX) format sensor with the capability to record4K videos up to 30p.  
11 frames per second burst shooting. 
Focus:  209 Auto Focus (AF)points.  
The Z fc supports Eye-Detection AF and Animal-Detection AF while shooting stills and video.  The wide-area AF can also capture eyes and faces by limiting the focus area.  Plus, it can continuously focus on the eyes of the intended subject when there are several people or animals in the frame,and track the eyes of a pet that’s moving around!
For the first time in a Nikon Z series camera, the Z fc supports exposure compensation even in the AUTO mode. 

5. How low can I go?  Will I be able to take pictures in very low light?

You could practically shoot this camera in the bowels of a cave.  Perhaps that’s an exaggeration.
How does an ISO range of 100 to 51200 expandable up to 204800 sound to you?  If you are already a Nikon user,you know that it’s a top brand for low light photography.  The images shot at high ISOs come out sharp and clear. 

6. Will my videos look professional when I use my new Nikon Z fc?

Yes!  Make room on your mantle for the Oscar you will win for the videos shot with your Nikon Z fc.  It’s super easy to get outstanding videos with this camera.   Here are a few reasons why:
The Nikon Z fc uses the 209 point AF, eye-detection and animal detection AF in video modes as well as still modes.
It has a vari-angle monitor, so it’s easy to shoot from high angles, as well as vertical shooting from low angles.   
Slow motion video shooting is made easy by simply selecting an image size and frame rate. 
It works great as a web camera. 

7. Can I transfer my great pictures to my phone right from the camera?

You sure can.  The Nikon Z fc has built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, and supports Nikon’s SnapBridge app for wireless image transfer to your phone.  
Plus, the Nikon Z fc along with the Nikon SnapBridge app, allows you to control the camera remotely from your phone or tablet.  It takes the frustration out of taking group pictures and selfies.  

What the Nikon Z fc cannot do:

It really cannot take pictures in the bowels of a cave without any light whatsoever.  We wrote that just for effect.  (Tip:  It’s best not to go into the bowels of a cave without a flashlight.)
