The Nikon Z fc is a 20.9 megapixel APS-C mirrorless camera that features a single memory card slot that supports SD/SDHC/SDXC (UHS-I) memory cards.
Faster UHS-II cards are not supported, they will work but default to the slower UHS-I speeds in camera. If you do use a UHS-II card then you will still benefit from up to 3x faster transfer speeds when copying files to your computer using a UHS-II card reader.

FAQs
What is the difference between UHS-I and UHS-II memory cards?
UHS-II offers much faster speeds (up to 312 MB/s) compared to UHS-I (up to 104 MB/s). This is possible via a second row of pins and two data lanes for simultaneous upstream and downstream data transfer. The extra row of pins are visible on the back of UHS-II cards. Both card types are backward compatible, but a UHS-II card will only operate at UHS-I speeds in a camera that only supports UHS-I cards.
What is the difference between SDHC and SDXC memory cards?
SDHC cards are formatted using the FAT32 file system which is limited to a maximum file size of 4GB. So when recording video clips, the clip will be split every 4 GB but playback with the camera will be seamless. SDXC cards use the exFAT file system which supports a maximum file size of 16 exabytes (EB), so video clips will not be split. SDHC cards support capacities of between 4-32GB and SDXC cards support 64GB-2TB.
