Nikon Z6 III Mirrorless Camera

Perfect for portraits, the Z6 III improves on the partially-stacked sensor's inherent capabilities with a series of processing tools and shooting functions to improve portraits:

• Portrait mode processes portraits for skin with natural texture and a rounded feel
• Rich Tone Portrait mode, a picture mode that produces more vivid results while capturing details of the subject's complexion and avoiding loss of detail in the highlights
• Flat Monochrome mode features gentle gradations from highlights to shadows, producing soft monochrome portraits
• Deep Tone Monochrome mode chooses slightly darker tones in the range from shadows to mid-tones, with brightness rapidly increasing as tones progress from mid-tones to highlights
• Skin softening can be used on up to three subjects in a shot and slightly blurs the skin for a more pleasing texture while still retaining essential sharpness on eyes and hair
• Manual white balance control is more intuitive when making adjustments and Auto WB has also been optimized for human subjects
• Take full advantage of Nikon's portrait modes by pairing the Z6 III with one of Nikon's portrait Z lenses, like the 50mm f/1.2 S, the 85mm f/1.2 S, or the 135mm f/1.8 S Plena
• Pixel Shift Technology

  Produce ultra-high resolution images at up to approximately 96 megapixels using pixel shift technology. By slightly shifting the image sensor between shots - selectable between 4 and 32 shots per image, with more shots meaning more detail - users can merge the images in NX Studio after shooting to create a single image with enhanced resolution, texture, and color. The shooting method also also reduces noise, moiré, and false colors. Pixel Shift photography benefits archival, landscape, architecture, fine art, macro, and film digitizing applications, and achieves its best results when working with a tripod.
• Professional Level Video

  Internal 6K60 and 4K 120 Recording

  Equally capable for video, the Z6 III approaches the Z9's recording capabilities here, as well, with a variety of resolutions and frame rates available up to 6K.

   

  Using full pixel readout, 6K60p video can be recorded with continuous shooting, while 4K and Full HD recording is also possible in a variety of frame rates, including full-frame 4K recording at up to 120p and Full HD recording at 240p for slow-motion playback.

  N-RAW and ProRes RAW Video

  Internal 12-bit raw raw recording at up to 6K 60p in the N-RAW format is supported along with internal ProRES RAW HQ. Raw recording offers greater tonal and color latitude and can improve dynamic range, benefitting color grading needs and post-production flexibility.

  • N-RAW is Nikon's own raw recording format that offers impressively small file sizes compared to other raw formats as well as the ability to create MP4 proxies for more efficient previewing or transferring.
  • N-RAW recording is available at up to 6K at 60p and ProRes RAW is also available at up to 6K and 30p.
  • ProRes and H.265 10-Bit Recording
  • Internal recording is also supported with 10-bit color and 4:2:2 sampling in the ProRes 422 HQ codec and 4:2:0 sampling in the H.265 codec at 5.4K 30p and 5.4K 60p, respectively.

    Nikon's Brightest Viewfinder

    The Z6 III's sensor-processor combo has allowed Nikon to give the Z6 III the brightest electronic viewfinder on any of its cameras. At 4000 nits, it's 33% brighter than the flagship Z9, making a subject's details visible even in bright sunlight. Its 5,760,000 dot resolution is also a first for a Nikon EVF, aiding with autofocus by showing the subject recognition square. This EVF also features a high fps function, which ups the EVF's refresh rate to 120 fps for smoother, lifelike viewing. Finally, the Z6 III's EVF also features a higher dynamic range and is compatible with a DCI-P3 color gamut - the first of its kind in a mirrorless camera - for approximating real-world color when taking the shot.

    170° Vari-Angle LCD

    The Z6 III incorporates a unique 3.2" 2.1m-dot touchscreen LCD that features 170° vari-angle mobility to better support working from high and low angles, regardless if shooting in the horizontal or vertical orientation. This allows for easier viewing from a variety of positions and the user interface orientation will also shift depending on how the camera is held.

    Body Design

    • Dual card slots-one CFexpress Type B slot and one UHS-II SD slot-allow for flexible file saving. The CFx slot is suitable for data-intensive applications, like 6K recording and high-speed burst shooting, while the SD slot retains compatibility with the popular storage format. Additionally, the CFx B slot is also compatible with XQD memory cards.
    • Pair the Z6 III with the optional MB-N14 Power Battery Pack grip for improved ergonomics when shooting vertical and up to 1.9x the battery life.
    • The smaller, lighter design makes the Z6 III an ideal candidate for rigging or use on a gimbal for video use.
    • Premium weather sealing protects against dust and moisture for confident use in harsh climates.
    • In-body Vibration Reduction, Nikon's image stabilization system, now supports Synchro VR to achieve up to 8 stops of camera shake compensation when used with select Z lenses.
    • Versatile Connectivity

    • Matching the professional build quality, the Z6 III is fitted with a variety of connectivity options to suit various workflow needs:

      • Another Nikon first, the Z6 III features direct-to-cloud connectivity with Nikon Imaging Cloud for file transfer and access to Nikon's imaging recipes for creative color grading
      • Sync timecodes using Ultrasync Blue from Atmos, connecting multiple Z6 III camera bodies for multi-camera production setups
      • Full-size HDMI port for outputting video to an external recorder or monitor
      • 3.5mm headphone port and a new line-in port for on-board audio monitoring and high-quality audio input directly into the camera
      • One USB-C port that supports file transfers and tethering as well as power delivery and battery charging
      • USB-C communication terminal supports USB-LAN connectivity when paired with an optional USB-C to Ethernet adapter. This enables a 1000BASE-T wired LAN connection for transferring files over FTP
      • 10-pin port offers wide accessories and remote connectivity
      • Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5 GHz) permit wireless transferring of files, remote camera control via a mobile device, and works in conjunction with the NX Mobile Air app for file management
