[Robust body that can withstand sub-zero environments] The Z 8 main unit and Li-ion rechargeable EN-EL15c can operate in environments as cold as -10 degrees Celsius, allowing you to shoot in more locations than ever before. The front cover of the body uses magnesium alloy, which helps ensure mount rigidity when using a super telephoto lens, securely fixes the image sensor, and improves heat dissipation. A new material [Sereebo P series] (manufactured by Teijin Ltd.) is used for the back cover and top cover, ensuring high impact resistance of the entire body with strength equivalent to magnesium alloy. In addition, the entire system, including the lens, is thoroughly sealed to achieve excellent dustproof and splashproof performance*. It can be used with confidence under various harsh conditions. In addition, when the power is turned off, the VR lock mechanism inside the body firmly secures the sensor, protecting the image sensor from damage due to unexpected shaking during transportation. We do not guarantee complete dustproof/splashproof under all conditions.
