RED Colour Science, Built in

An exclusive R3D NE codec brings renowned RED colour science to Nikon. Gain greater flexibility in post—or match your ZR footage with video shot on a RED camera system.

Professional Video Formats for Diverse Workflows

No need for external recorders. Whether you need 12-bit RAW for colour grading, or efficient codecs for fast turnarounds and broadcast-ready content, the ZR delivers.

Cinematic Footage Straight From the Camera

Creating content for immediate viewing? Four creative video modes and nine custom RED Picture Controls will help nail the look and feel in-camera. Try the Cinematic mode, which sets the shutter angle to 180° and the frame rate to 24fps: then use the RED colour presets to adjust the tone of footage.

Dual Base ISO with 15+ Stop Dynamic Range

A Dual Base ISO of 800/6400 maximises the sensor’s performance for clean, noise-free footage. It’s available when shooting in Log3G10, and the camera’s wide 15+ stop dynamic range is maintained at both ISOs for maximum detail in highlights and shadows.

Take Your Vision and Make it Real

Vlogs to movies. Shorts to features. Street interviews to documentaries. A 6K full-frame sensor gives you the resolution, and the frame rates, to take on any shoot.

Flexible Frame Rates and Resolutions

From cinematic 24p to 240p extreme slow motion. From richly detailed 6K to crisp, compact 1080p. Whether you’re shooting for the big screen via the edit suite, or you want footage that’s ready for viewing immediately.

Natural Motion. No Distortion.

With its fast read-out speeds, the ZR effectively minimises rolling shutter distortion, keeping vertical lines straight and motion natural. Great if you’re panning or filming fast action.

All-In-One

Compact Camera. Cinematic Display.

You won’t need to bring an external monitor when the ZR is your creative partner. The lightest all-in-one cinema camera around also boasts the biggest, brightest Vari-angle monitor for a super-clear view of the scene.

True Volour. Full Visibility.

The large, bright, 4-inch touchscreen monitor covers the DCI-P3 colour gamut and boasts a generous 16:10 display format. You’ll be able to accurately monitor colours while viewing full-size widescreen (16:9) footage—and vertical video is supported too.

Responsive, Customisable Touchscreen

Spacious Control Hub

Functions are controlled with soft, quiet screen taps that won’t disturb recording, and there’s plenty of space to adjust settings without compromising your view.

Clean or Overlaid Views

You can stay focused on framing with a clean screen, or easily add overlays like focus peaking, histograms, and zebras. The display flips automatically for vertical shooting.

In-Camera LUTs to Monitor Colour as You Shoot

Shooting in RAW or a log format? You can load up to ten 3D LUTs, including 65-point LUTs, for viewing on the ZR monitor. You’ll see the impact of exposure or lighting choices on the colours you’re going for, while the footage itself stays clean for maximum flexibility in post.

In-Camera 32-bit Float Audio Recording

In a world first, the ZR lets you capture 32-bit audio using the camera’s internal mics, or a compatible external mic. The dynamic range is so vast, you won’t need to constantly monitor the levels when filming: you can adjust them in post without clipping.

OZO Audio Technology

With three built-in MEMS microphones, the ZR lets you record sound without an external mic. There’s five pick-up patterns to choose from.

In-Body VR for Steady Handheld Footage

No need to take a gimbal. Nikon’s powerful in-camera 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilisation compensates for camera shake to keep handheld footage steady. Great for dynamic run-and-gun video shoots where spontaneity is key.

Precision AF Keeps Your Shots on Point

With Nikon’s fast, intelligent AF system keeping every shot in focus, you can give free reign to your creativity.

• Fast: Quick, accurate, reliable, and customisable autofocus. For the sharpest, smoothest shots.
• Intelligent: The ZR can detect and track nine different subject types. Faces are in focus, eyes are sharp.
• Smooth: No focus puller, no problem. Selectable AF speeds let you create smooth, repeatable focus transitions.
• Wide: With custom wide-area AF, you can tell the ZR in which part of the frame to track focus. It won’t blink.

Focus-Breathing Compensation

Want to rack focus? Turn on focus-breathing compensation and you’ll attain smoother, more natural-looking transitions. Super helpful if you’re shooting dynamic scenes, where consistent framing matters.

No Noisy Fans. No Heat-Related Shutdowns.

With an innovative body design that efficiently dissipates heat, the ZR will quietly hold its own on a long shoot. You can record video up to 4K/60p for up to 125 minutes straight when running off continuous power, and for up to 95 minutes when running on battery power.

Technology

Aspherical Lens

A lens with a curved, non-spherical surface. Used to reduce aberrations and enable a more compact lens size. Aspherical lenses minimize coma and other types of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture. They are particularly useful in correcting distortion in wide-angle lenses and help contribute to a lighter, more compact design by reducing the number of standard (spherical) elements necessary. Aspherical lens elements correct these distortions by continuously changing the refractive index from the center of the lens.

Stepping Motor

NIKKOR Z lenses use a stepping motor for fast, accurate, smooth, quiet autofocus with reduced wobbling. This quiet drive system makes the lenses ideal for use when shooting video.

ARNEO Coat

An anti-reflective coating developed by Nikon and used in conjunction with Nano Crystal Coat to further reduce ghost and flare effects caused by incident light entering the lens vertically. This allows for the outstandingly clear capture of images even when a light source is located within the frame.

Nano Crystal Coat

An anti-reflective coating developed by Nikon that virtually eliminates internal lens element reflections across a wide range of wavelengths. Nano Crystal Coat solves ghost effects caused by red light and effectively reduces ghost and flare caused by light entering the lens diagonally.

ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass

An optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.

Aspherical – Extra-low Dispersion Glass Elements

An ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element that features the characteristics of an Aspheric glass element for a more compact size lens. Like Aspherical lenses, AS-ED lens elements minimize coma and other types of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture by continuously changing the refractive index from the center of the lens. The AS-ED lens elements are optical glass developed by Nikon to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.

IF Lens

A NIKKOR lens in which only the internal lens group shifts during focusing. Thus, IF NIKKORS do not change in size during AF operation, allowing for compact, lightweight lenses capable of closer focusing distances. These lenses will be designated with the abbreviation IF on the lens barrel.
