Nikon ZR 6K Cinema Camera

By combining RED color science and Nikon engineering, the Nikon ZR 6K Cinema Camera is a first-of-its-kind powerhouse designed to capture stunning cinematic images in one compact body. This tiny Z-mount cinema camera allows you to use a variety of lenses, and internal stabilization provides a smooth, steady image with 15+ stops of dynamic range. Features include 32-bit float audio, advanced autofocus, dual-base ISO, and up to 6K60 video capture in REDCODE, N-RAW, or ProRes RAW.

Nikon + RED Color Science

The partnership of Nikon and RED provides a wide range of compatibility with production workflows, offering REDCODE RAW R3D NE recording format along with Nikon's N-RAW, ProRes RAW HQ/422 HQ, and the high-quality compressed H.264 and H.265 codecs. REDCODE RAW (R3D NE) unlocks the same color space (REDWideGamutRGB) and Log curve (Log3G10) as RED cameras. The camera captures resolutions up to 6K60, 4K120, and even 1080p240 for high frame rate, slow-motion recording.

Audio Capture

The ZR captures high-quality audio using dynamic 32-bit float and 24-bit recording, and it supports standard 48 kHz linear PCM for full video compatibility. It features built-in configurable mics with five directional patterns (front/narrow, front, rear, omnidirectional, and binaural). There's also a line input for external microphones, and a digital accessory shoe for mics like the ME-D10 shotgun mic. A headphone jack allows audio monitoring.

Recording and Output

Records to a CFexpress Type B card slot accessed through the battery door for compact mobility. A microSD card slot is available for proxy recording. Includes micro-HDMI output for display or recording device connectivity.

Powered by deep learning, Nikon's autofocus offers up to 9-subject detection with automatic tracking of people, animals, and vehicles.
