Nikon Z6 III Mirrorless Camera

 

Massive Upgrades for a Mid-Range Monster

Sporting a new and inspired partially-stacked sensor design, the Nikon Z6 III Mirrorless Camera unlocks a number of flagship-level upgrades for this mid-range camera, including faster and more precise autofocus, professional-level 6K internal raw video, pre-capture at up to 120 fps, and a smooth, bright, colorful EVF. Taken together, these upgrades make this mirrorless monster an ideal choice for aspiring professionals in search of an all-around, affordable camera.

 

Newly Designed Sensor and Flagship Processing

24.5MP Partially-Stacked CMOS Sensor

The Z6 III is Nikon's first camera to to feature a partially stacked sensor design for faster scans and readouts than its predecessor, as well as reducing rolling shutter. Additionally, this sensor design unlocks many of the flagship-level features in the camera, like faster autofocus, a smoother EVF experience, faster continuous shooting speeds, and higher frame rates when shooting video.

• Top continuous shooting speeds of 20 fps when shooting in raw, up to 60 fps when shooting in full-frame JPEG, and 120 fps when shooting JPEGs using a DX crop, with all rates supporting full AF/AE performance.
• 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.

This focusing system also supports working in low-light conditions with a Starlight mode that permits focusing down to -10 EV to greatly benefit astrophotography, concert, and other nighttime shooting applications. Featuring the highest native ISO in a Z-series camera at ISO 64000, the autofocus is also useful for working in difficult lighting conditions. The Backlit AF function uses separate pixels on the sensor that allows these areas to intentionally overexpose for focusing accuracy purposes without impacting the actual exposure of the recorded image.

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

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.
