Nikon Z6III Body (SKU N-VOA130AE)

Incredible autofocus performance, extreme shooting speed, 6K/60p internal RAW video plus 240p Full HD slow motion, and the brightest, most detailed electronic viewfinder Nikon has ever made.
This is a mirrorless camera that truly stands in a league of its own.

Key Features

• Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) – Exceptionally bright, high-resolution viewfinder with a color gamut comparable to DCI-P3.

• Autofocus – Advanced subject tracking with automatic detection of nine different subject types.

• High-Speed Shooting – Continuous shooting at up to 120 frames per second.

• Video – Internal 6K/60p RAW recording with oversampled 4K UHD output.

• Vibration Reduction – Up to 8 stops of built-in image stabilization with Focus Point VR to prioritize the active focus area.

Performance

Speed, precision, and reliability come together to deliver power beyond expectations.

The camera uses the world’s first partially stacked CMOS sensor with integrated high-speed data processing circuits. This design gives approximately 3.5× faster readout than the Z6 II and works in tandem with a high-performance electronic shutter.

The fast sensor allows ultra-high continuous shooting speeds and extremely short shutter times without compromising the viewfinder experience.

• Maximum 120 fps JPEG shooting.

• High-speed C30, C60, and C120 modes are available with Pre-Release Capture.

• Up to 20 fps RAW shooting with a buffer of over 1000 frames (depending on settings).

• Shutter speed down to 1/16,000 s, ideal for freezing very fast motion.

• Immersive live view with a smooth, detailed image and a maximum refresh rate of 120 fps.

Rock-steady stabilization is built in:

• 5-axis in-body image stabilization offers up to 8 stops of vibration reduction.

• Focus Point VR emphasizes stabilization around the active focus point for even more precise results.

Video

Professional-level video performance in a compact, lightweight body.

You get outstanding image quality, highly accurate autofocus, and the flexibility of recording in-camera RAW video up to 6K/60p. The camera also offers line-in audio, professional monitoring tools, and more.

6K Internal RAW

• N-RAW recording up to 60p.

• ProRes RAW recording up to 30p.

Slow Motion

• Capture Full HD footage at up to 240p for up to 10× slow-motion playback.

Audio and Zoom

• Line-level input with compatibility for professional audio and XLR accessories (via suitable adapters).

• Hi-Res Zoom allows up to 2× digital zoom in Full HD and up to 1.4× in 4K with no visible loss of quality.

Professional Compatibility

• Works with accessories such as the Nikon MC-N10 Remote Grip (sold separately), Atomos UltraSync BLUE, and more.

Low-Light Performance

The EXPEED 7 processor improves image quality at high ISO values and delivers impressive low-light autofocus performance. Starlight Mode enables accurate composition and focusing even in very dark scenes.

• ISO sensitivity range from 100 to 64,000, expandable up to Hi 1.7 (equivalent to ISO 204,800).

• Advanced noise reduction provides cleaner, sharper images in low-light environments.

• Ultra-sensitive autofocus operates down to −10 EV.

Autofocus Capabilities

Autofocus performance is inherited from Nikon’s Z8 and Z9, using advanced multi-subject recognition supported by Deep Learning technology.

The camera can automatically detect and track nine subject types: people, dogs, cats, birds, airplanes, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and trains.

Versatility and Shooting Features

Pre-Release Capture

Capture the decisive moment with confidence. When the shutter button is half-pressed, the camera begins buffering images. JPEG files can be recorded from up to one second before and up to three seconds after the shutter is fully pressed.

High-Impact Portraits

• Skin Softening – Smooths skin while keeping eyes and hair tack sharp. Works with up to three people in the frame.

• Skin Tone Control – Portrait Impression Balance lets you fine-tune hue and brightness for natural, flattering skin tones.

• Face and Eye Detection AF – Detects human and animal faces and eyes in Auto-area AF, 3D-tracking, Wide-area AF, and Subject-tracking AF modes.

• Latest Picture Controls – Includes creative options such as Rich Tone Portrait, Flat Monochrome, and Deep Tone Monochrome.

Flexible Color Picture Control

Create your own preferred color profiles in NX Studio and upload them to the camera as Custom Picture Controls to apply your look directly in-camera.

Design and Operation

Viewfinder and Display

Shoot confidently in bright light and see more color and detail than ever before.

• Maximum brightness of 4000 nits provides a clear, vibrant view even in strong sunlight.

• 5.76M-dot resolution and premium optics set a high standard for viewfinder detail and clarity.

• 120 fps maximum refresh rate gives smooth, lifelike motion, ideal for tracking fast subjects.

• Expanded color gamut equivalent to DCI-P3 ensures more accurate, subtle color reproduction.

Body and Handling

• 3.2-inch vari-angle, touch-sensitive LCD with a 170-degree viewing angle for flexible shooting from many angles.
