On 25 September 2023, Nikon announced that the Zf is expected for delayed delivery for some customers due to unexpected order volume.

The Zf is a full-frame camera believed to use the same 24.5MP BSI-CMOS sensor used in the Nikon Z6II, as its official specifications are the same.

The taken shots are then processed in Nikon's NX Studio to form a single large megapixel picture.

The image processor has also been upgrade to Expeed 7, and the camera's autofocus is on par with those of Nikon Z8 and Z9.
