Massive Upgrades for a Mid-Range Monster
- 24.5MP Partially-Stacked CMOS Sensor
- EXPEED 7 Image Processor
Able to buffer over 1000 images in a burst when using the electronic shutter, meaning image sequences can be recorded for approximately 50 seconds continuously.
Pre-Release Capture at up to 120 fps helps make decisive moment shots easier by recording frames in a burst for up to a second prior to actually releasing the shutter. When this feature is activated, burst shooting will commence when the shutter is half-pressed and the buffer will retain up to 4 seconds’ worth of frames after fully pressing the shutter.
Electronic shutter affords a top shutter speed of 1/16,000 sec for working in the brightest conditions with wider apertures.
Partially-stacked sensor design reduces rolling shutter distortion so fast-moving subjects, like a golf club, tennis racket, or baseball bat, do not appear distorted when working with shutter speeds up to 1/16,000 sec.
AF calculations are done at a 120 fps rate to keep up with fast continuous shooting speeds.
- 493-Point Phase-Detection AF
- Subject Detection with Deep Learning Technology
- More Beautiful Portraits
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
- 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
- Nikon’s Brightest Viewfinder
- 170° Vari-Angle LCD
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.
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
