For their first-ever co-developed camera body, Nikon and RED have united to craft Nikon’s first compact Cinema camera—whether as a primary body, B-shooter, run-and-gunner, drone rider, or any other capacity, the 6K, full frame Nikon ZR aims to be iconic.

Don’t miss the opportunity to see this brand new goodness THIS WEEKEND at the FocusPoint Photo & Video Expo! Click here for more information.
Uniting Nikon’s rich optical history with RED’s innovative color science, there’s a lot here to intrigue a cinematic professional:
- multiple RAW choices, including Redcode/R3D NE
- in-camera custom LUTs
- 32-bit float audio (!)
- fully articulated 4″ DCI-P3 screen for easy, accurate monitoring
- 6K 60p, 4K 120p, 1080 240p, and more
That 32 bit float is pretty cool. In a nutshell, the dynamic range of the recorder, whether using internal or external microphones*, is massive. The odds of unrecoverable audio are extremely low. Using the Nikon Z-mount unlocks all NIKKOR lenses (plus other manufacturers’ options, with the right adapters), so the optics are just as flexible as the audio.
*You should be using an external microphone. Check out this new compact shotgun mic!
The body is equipped with a 7.5 stop IBIS system, though you’re probably using a gimbal anyway. 😉 Nikon’s world-renowned autofocus technology will help you nail the shot, as well. If you’re working with other cameras, note that this one will seamlessly integrate with RED Komodos—post-production is fun, but the less you have to do, the better.
Come check it out in-person at FocusPoint and get your reservation locked in! We’d be happy to show you all the wonderful things you’ll be able to do.
