| Tool | Tab | Tap | Long-press | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | Enfoque automático/manual af_mode | CAMERA SETUP | Toggle / cycle | — | Interruptor de enfoque automático/manual (AF-S, AF-C, MF). |
| | Área AF af_area Todos los cuerpos (Z5, Z6, Z7 y Z50 utilizan la configuración de área de enfoque automático estándar del cuerpo). | CAMERA SETUP | Toggle / cycle | — | Modo de área AF: dónde busca la cámara el enfoque (amplio, punto único, seguimiento...). |
| | Sujeto subject_detect Z8, Z9, Z6III, Zf, Z50II, Z5II, ZR | CAMERA SETUP | Toggle / cycle | — | Detección de sujetos: personas, animales, vehículos, prioridad para la detección automática. |
| | Esfera MF mf_slider | CAMERA SETUP | Toggle / cycle | — | Dial de enfoque manual. Controla el motor de enfoque del objetivo de forma remota con un deslizador de regla de precisión (línea de referencia amarilla). Mantén pulsado el botón MF para elegir la orientación horizontal o vertical; cada modo de foto y vídeo recuerda la suya. PULL ON abre el panel flotante de enfoque (arrástralo a cualquier lugar): con el deslizador en la primera marca, pulsa A para guardarla, vuelve a enfocar y pulsa B para la segunda marca; los indicadores muestran la posición de cada punto. Los botones ◀/▶ realizan una transición de enfoque suave y gradual a A o B durante el tiempo seleccionado; pulsa el chip del temporizador para ajustar la duración (0,5 s → 5 s en pasos de medio segundo) y pulsa cualquiera de los botones a mitad de la ejecución para detenerla. El tiempo transcurrido se muestra en el título del panel mientras se realiza el enfoque. |
| | Dial PZ zoom_slider Z8, Z9, Z6III, Zf, Z50II, Z5II, Z30, Z50, Zfc, ZR — con un objetivo zoom motorizado Nikon acoplado | CAMERA SETUP | Toggle / cycle | — | Dial de zoom motorizado (PZ). Un balancín con resorte que acciona un objetivo de zoom motorizado: empuje hacia W (gran angular) o T (teleobjetivo) y suéltelo para detenerlo; en Automático, la velocidad de accionamiento sigue la distancia a la que empuje. Mantenga pulsado el botón PZ para fijar una velocidad de accionamiento (−5…+5, misma escala que el menú de la cámara) o para cambiar el deslizador entre horizontal y vertical. Con una velocidad fijada, también dispone de la dirección W/T, además de los botones de transporte Inicio/Pausa/Parada para zooms automáticos sin intervención manual a velocidad constante. Las pastillas A/B almacenan y recuperan posiciones de zoom exactas (objetivos PZ3): pulse una pastilla vacía para ALMACENAR la posición de zoom actual del objetivo, tóquela de nuevo para RECUPERAR (el objetivo se mueve automáticamente a ese punto) y mantenga pulsado para borrar. El accionamiento de recuperación funciona a la velocidad fijada cuando se establece una; en Automático (sin velocidad fijada) utiliza la predeterminada del menú de la cámara (0). Las posiciones se almacenan por objetivo, por lo que un ajuste preestablecido guardado con un objetivo no accionará otro. La distancia focal en tiempo real se muestra junto a la lectura. Aparece atenuado cuando el objetivo acoplado no tiene zoom motorizado. |
| | VR/IBIS ibis | CAMERA SETUP | Toggle / cycle | — | Estabilización integrada en el cuerpo (VR/IBIS): activación/desactivación y modo. |
| | Metro metering | CAMERA SETUP | Toggle / cycle | — | Patrón de medición de la exposición (matricial, ponderada al centro, puntual, de altas luces). |
| | Control de imagen picture_ctrl | CAMERA SETUP | Toggle / cycle | — | Picture Control profile — the camera's color/tone preset (incl. flat/N-Log looks). |
| | ADL active_dlighting | CAMERA SETUP | Toggle / cycle | — | D-Lighting activo: protección integrada de luces altas y sombras en la cámara. |
| | NR ISO alto hi_iso_nr | CAMERA SETUP | Toggle / cycle | — | Alta capacidad de reducción de ruido ISO. |
| | Suave como la piel skin_softening Z8, Z9, Z6III, Zf, Z50II, Z5II, ZR | CAMERA SETUP | Toggle / cycle | — | Cantidad de suavizante para la piel para entrevistas/trabajos de belleza. |
| | Sin CPU non_cpu_lens Todos los cuerpos excepto Z50 | CAMERA SETUP | Toggle / cycle | — | Datos de lentes sin CPU: registra los lentes manuales para que IBIS y EXIF funcionen correctamente. Toca una ranura para convertirla en el lente activo. Mantén pulsada cualquier ranura para editarla o para llenar una libre: el nombre del lente (hasta 36 caracteres), la distancia focal (pasos de 0,1 mm por debajo de 100 mm) y la apertura máxima (pasos de F0,01 por debajo de f/10) se escriben directamente en los datos de lentes sin CPU de la cámara; el lente con el que estás disparando permanece seleccionado y las etiquetas del selector se actualizan en cuanto el cuerpo lo confirma. Borrar ranura vacía una ranura. |
| | Nivel virtual_horizon | CAMERA SETUP | Toggle / cycle | — | Horizonte/nivel virtual. Muestra la inclinación y el balanceo de la cámara con un movimiento suave para obtener tomas perfectamente niveladas. Mantén pulsado para ver los valores de balanceo/inclinación y las etiquetas de la escala de ángulos. |
| | Área de imágenes img_area | IMAGE SETTINGS (photo) | Toggle / cycle | Opens options | Área de imagen / recorte para imágenes fijas (fotograma completo FX, DX, 1:1, 16:9). |
| | Tono tone_mode Z8, Z6III, Zf, Z50II, Z5II, ZR | IMAGE SETTINGS (photo) | Toggle / cycle | Opens options | Modo de tono para imágenes fijas: captura SDR o HLG (HEIF). |
| | Calidad img_quality | IMAGE SETTINGS (photo) | Toggle / cycle | Opens options | Calidad de imagen fija: JPEG/HEIF Básico/Normal/Fino, RAW o combinaciones de RAW + JPEG. |

| | Parpadeo de HF hf_flicker Z8, Z9, Z6III, Z50II, Z5II, ZR | CAMERA SETUP | Toggle / cycle | — | Reducción de parpadeo de alta frecuencia (Nikon HF flicker) activada/desactivada: ajuste propio del cuerpo para el modo actual (foto o vídeo). Oculta por defecto: actívala en Ajustes → herramientas. Mientras esté activada y el programa de exposición lo permita (M o S en foto, M en vídeo, obturador 1/30–1/8000), el chip del obturador y el mosaico de Control del cuerpo muestran el formato de ajuste fino de Nikon (solo el denominador con un decimal, p. ej. 512,0 en lugar de 1/500) y la hoja de Obturador obtiene filas ◄ más rápidas / ► más lentas que ajustan el ajuste fino un clic a la vez. Disponible en cuerpos de la serie Z que lo admiten; en otras cámaras el botón indica que no está disponible. |
| | Enfocar focus | MONITORING | Toggle / cycle | Opens options | Focus-peaking overlay. Highlights in-focus detail with a colored stroke. Long-press for the Focus assist menu: Peaking color (a swatch window that stays open and docks at the screen edge so you compare colors on the live feed — X returns to the menu), Line thickness (Thin / Medium / Thick — the stroke width only, detection is unchanged) and 'Threshold & tuning…', which opens a live slider over the feed: 0 shows only the crispest, highest-contrast edges, 50 is the factory detection, 100 also lights up soft edges and fine texture such as hair or fabric. Pills in the same drawer: THIN/MEDIUM/THICK, GRADED (stroke strength follows sharpness instead of a solid line) and TONE (relaxes the detection on flat profiles — N-Log, Log3G10, HLG — so the same slider position looks alike on every tone). Everything here is part of an app preset. In fullscreen, long-press a Quick Button bound to Focus to cycle the peaking color on the fly. |
| | cebras zebras | MONITORING | Toggle / cycle | Opens options | Exposure zebras. Diagonal stripes over areas above your set brightness threshold — separate Highlight and Middle-Grey zebras with their own colors and levels. Long-press for modes, levels and 'Auto Standard per Tone': ON loads the standard levels whenever the codec/tone (or view LUT) changes; OFF remembers your own levels separately per tone. |
| | Medidor de exposición exp_meter | MONITORING | Toggle / cycle | — | Exposure Meter — a draggable Nikon-style meter fed by the body's own exposure indicator. The small + and − buttons step exposure compensation by the camera's smallest EV increment. Long-press the EXP button to choose vertical or horizontal orientation. |
| | Puñetazo punch | MONITORING | Toggle / cycle | Opens options | Focus punch — the BODY's live-view zoom (LiveViewZoomArea), not a digital crop: tap cycles Entire display → 100 % → 200 % → 400 % (only the levels this body offers — the list comes from the camera itself), hold picks a level directly. Long-press a level in the sheet to star it: one favourite makes the tap toggle that level ↔ Entire display; two or more make the tap cycle through the starred levels only — star "Entire display" too if you want Off in the loop. The punch follows the AF point: Tap-AF moves it. "Snap to detected subject" (row at the bottom of the sheet): On punch-in centres the zoom window on the face / eye / subject the body has detected the moment you punch in; Follow keeps re-centring while the subject moves; Off leaves the window where the focus point is. Works with the body's AF subject detection and, on bodies that have it, MF subject detection. The tool is hidden on bodies that do not announce live-view zoom. Punch can also sit on a fullscreen Quick Button A / B (Options → Video or Photo tool table): tap behaves like the HUD button, long-press opens the level sheet, and while the body is zoomed the button lights and prints the current level (100% / 200% / 400%). While recording the body allows only Entire / 100 % (no change at all in RAW codecs), and the camera magnifies its own monitor only — the app feed stays full frame while recording or on HDMI. |
| | Guías guides | MONITORING | Toggle / cycle | Opens options | Framing guides. Aspect-ratio markers (2.39:1, 1.85:1, 4:3 …) drawn over the feed. Long-press to choose ratio and style, dim everything outside the active frame, or magnify the live view so the guide fills the screen (uniform scale, single guide). |
| | Campo Z zfield | MONITORING | Toggle / cycle | — | Z Field exposure assist. Colors the image by exposure zones from crushed shadows to clipped highlights — a light-meter view of the whole frame. Long-press for the menu: 'Edit colours…' opens a live panel over the feed where you pick one color per stop (the stock Nikon Z palette first, transparent, or a custom color) and watch the overlay and legend change as you tap; 'Save Current as Preset' stores that palette under a name, tap a preset to apply it, long-press to rename or delete. Presets and the current colors are part of an app preset. See the 'Z Field — Exposure Assist' section below. |
| | F.Color falsecolor | MONITORING | Toggle / cycle | — | False color. Maps IRE brightness ranges to 10 reference colors — the legend shows the exact 0-100 IRE range for each color. Long-press for the menu: 'Edit bands & colours…' opens a live panel over the feed (right edge in landscape, bottom in portrait) where you tap a band for its color (stock palette, transparent, or a custom color) and move its START level with − / + — the overlay and legend follow instantly, so you see exactly what you are about to save. 'Save Current as Preset' names and stores those bands + colors; tap a preset to apply it, long-press to rename or delete. 'Auto Standard per Tone' ON loads the standard cine bands whenever the codec/tone changes (hand-editing or loading a preset switches it OFF so your setup isn't overwritten). Presets and the current bands are part of an app preset. |
| | LUT 3D lut | MONITORING | Toggle / cycle | Opens options | 3D/1D LUT preview. Applies a color-grade LUT to the monitor feed only — recording is untouched. Long-press to pick or import .cube files. Accepted: standard Adobe/DaVinci/RED .cube files — any 3D size from 2³ to 128³ (17, 33, 64, 65, 125 all load) and 1D LUTs (LUT_1D_SIZE, expanded on import); TITLE and DOMAIN_MIN/MAX are honoured. Not supported: .3dl, .csp, ICC. 33³ is the sweet spot for live view; larger cubes work but take a moment longer to import and to push to background windows. Organise the menu: '+ New folder…' creates your own folders; long-press a folder to rename or delete it; long-press a LUT for Move to folder… / Rename / Delete. Inside a folder, '+ Import … into this folder…' files a new .cube there. Bundled packs and LUTs you delete are only hidden — Options ▸ Display ▸ Restore bundled LUTs brings them back. Folders and renames are library organisation and are not part of an app preset. |
| | Ola waveform | MONITORING | Toggle / cycle | Opens options | Luma waveform scope. Brightness distribution across the image, left-to-right. Long-press for trace color, channels, Peak hold (Off / 2 s / 5 s; the Parade has its own) and the built-in spot meter — a draggable square on the feed whose pixels get highlighted on the waveform (size S/M/L + highlight color in the same menu). |
| | Historia histogram | MONITORING | Toggle / cycle | Opens options | Histogram. Tonal distribution from shadows (left) to highlights (right), drawn as a filled R/G/B + luma area chart. Long-press for RGB or luma mode, 64 / 128 / 256 bins and Peak hold (Off / 2 s / 5 s). |
| | Desfile parade | MONITORING | Toggle / cycle | Opens options | RGB parade. Separate red / green / blue waveforms — spot color casts and channel clipping instantly. |
| | Vector vectorscope | MONITORING | Toggle / cycle | Opens options | Vectorscope. Plots chroma (hue + saturation) exactly like a hardware scope — analysed straight from the live feed, any codec. Long-press for skin-tone line, zoom (1×/2×/4×), 75 %/100 % targets, graticule style and plot quality. |
| | Anam. anamorphic | MONITORING | Toggle / cycle | — | Anamorphic de-squeeze. Un-stretches footage shot with anamorphic lenses (1.33×, 1.5×, 1.8×, 2×) — or type any CUSTOM factor of your own in the same menu. The custom factor also appears in the Gallery player's de-squeeze cycle. Photo and video keep their own de-squeeze setting. |
| | Red red | MONITORING | Toggle / cycle | Opens options | Composition grid. Thirds / golden-ratio overlay. Long-press for grid type. |
| | Seguro safearea | MONITORING | Toggle / cycle | — | Safe-area markers. Action- and title-safe rectangles for broadcast delivery. |
| | Radar traffic | MONITORING | Toggle / cycle | — | Exposure radar — a per-channel clip / crush meter. Each R/G/B bar counts only the pixels that are genuinely clipped (at the tone's measured clip level) or genuinely crushed (below the Z Field's −6 zone for that tone), so SDR, N-Log, HLG and R3D are each judged on their own curve. A bar starts filling and its lamp lights once more than 3 % of the frame is clipped or crushed; the noise bar estimates sensor noise in the darkest areas. |
| | Audio audio_meters | MONITORING | Toggle / cycle | — | Audio meters. Live input levels with peak hold, drawn over the feed. |
| | S-Mo slow_motion bodies with high-frame-rate movie modes — the picker lists only what the connected body offers | MONITORING | Toggle / cycle | — | Slow motion (S-MO). Switches the camera into its high-frame-rate capture modes — the picker lists only the resolution / frame-rate pairs the body actually supports, and the resolution and frame-rate chips in the top banner update each other so an impossible combination can never be sent. The S-MO chip shows the playback slow-down factor (e.g. ×4) while active. |
| | Nivel audio_sens | AUDIO | Toggle / cycle | — | Input level / sensitivity for the active microphone. |
| | Entrada de micrófono mic_input Z6III, ZR | AUDIO | Toggle / cycle | — | Microphone input selection (built-in, external, line). |
| | Viento wind_reduce | AUDIO | Toggle / cycle | — | Wind-noise reduction filter. |
| | Atención attenuator | AUDIO | Toggle / cycle | — | Attenuator — pads hot inputs to prevent clipping. |
| | 32 bits float32 ZR | AUDIO | Toggle / cycle | — | 32-bit float recording — capture without gain-staging worries. |
