Massive Upgrades for a MidRange Marvel
With its innovative partiallystacked sensor design, the Nikon Z6 III Mirrorless Camera brings a host of flagshiplevel enhancements to this midrange model. These include faster and more precise autofocus, professionallevel 6K internal raw video, precapture at up to 120 fps, and a bright, colorful EVF. Together, these features make this camera a perfect choice for aspiring professionals seeking a versatile and affordable option.
Newly Designed Sensor and Flagship Processing
24.5MP PartiallyStacked CMOS Sensor
The Z6 III is Nikon's first camera to feature a partially stacked sensor design, allowing for faster scans and readouts compared to its predecessor. This design also reduces rolling shutter and noise levels at high ISO settings. Additionally, the sensor enables many flagshiplevel features, such as faster autofocus, a smoother EVF experience, quicker continuous shooting speeds, and higher frame rates for video.
EXPEED 7 Image Processor
Working alongside the new sensor is the EXPEED 7 processing engine, which is also found in Nikon's toptier Z8 and Z9 mirrorless cameras. Offering speeds approximately 10 times faster than the Z6 II, this processor enhances autofocus speeds, burst shooting rates, buffer capacity, video performance, and overall handling.
- Top continuous shooting speeds of 20 fps when shooting in raw, up to 60 fps when shooting in fullframe 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.
- PreRelease Capture at up to 120 fps helps make decisive moment shots easier by recording frames in a burst for up a second prior to actually releasing the shutter. When this feature is activated, burst shooting will commence when the shutter is halfpressed and the buffer will retain up to 3 seconds' worth of frames prior to 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.
- Partiallystacked sensor design reduces rolling shutter distortion so fastmoving 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.
EyeDetection AF, specifically, has been tuned for improved accuracy and refined recognition of eyes in the scene, regardless of how small or large they are within the image frame, and can also be used in conjunction with custom WideArea AF for different subject shapes and sizes.
- 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 midtones, with brightness rapidly increasing as tones progress from midtones 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
