    Many NIKKOR Z lenses all but eliminate focus breathing, maintaining a consistent viewing angle while pulling focus in videos.

• In-body stabilization means every lens has VR.
  The Z 8 has 5.5 stops of 5-axis image stabilization built right into its body (6.0 stops3 when using a NIKKOR Z lens that supports Synchro VR4). That means even prime lenses get the benefits of VR for steadier video footage, more low-light capabilities and sharper results overall.
