Overview
BORN CINEMATIC
- New internal R3D NE recording: a new RAW format optimized for Nikon cameras to leverage RED color science—up to 6K/59.94p, 12-bit, no external recorder required.
- Multiple RAW formats with high dynamic range: Choose RED’s R3D NE with 15+ stops of dynamic range, or Nikon’s N-RAW, or Apple ProRes RAW HQ.
- Straight Out Of Camera Cinematic video mode preset: RED-curated color for expressive, filmic color and tone.
- Nine RED-curated Imaging Recipes: Available via Nikon Imaging Cloud—looks that evolve to empower your expression.
- Cutting-edge 4" LCD with 1000 cd/m2 brightness: Clear, accurate framing even in sunlight, with LUT monitoring. Makes it easier to compose, adjust focus, and shoot vertical videos.
- World’s First* 32-bit float audio via built-in microphone or 3.5mm stereo mini-pin jack : High-quality audio capture without an external mic or gain adjustments—so the user can focus on filming.
- Stunning autofocus with Nikon's deep learning-based AI technology: Smart detection of nine object types, including people and vehicles.
- Slow-motion presets: Instant access to 4K/119.88p and Full HD/239.76p cinematic motion.
- Fan-less, durable body: Heat-dissipating structure with lightweight magnesium alloy, offering the same dust- and drip-resistance as the Z6III.
- Flexible Z mount: Supports a wide range of high-quality lenses with the shortest flange distance in full-frame cameras.
- *Among cameras with interchangeable lenses that record audio via the built-in microphone and 3.5-mm stereo mini-pin jack.
