Nikon Z6 III Mirrorless Camera & Underwater Housing Announcement

Nikon announced the Nikon Z6 III, a 24.5MP full-frame mirrorless camera that stands in a class of its own with an unmatched suite of powerful features that bring exceptional performance to both photographers and filmmakers. The Nikon Z6 III is the world's first camera with a partially-stacked CMOS sensor, delivering ultra-fast readout that unlocks blistering speeds and high frame rates in both photo and video modes. Other benefits include a truly immersive viewfinder experience with the brightest EVF of any mirrorless camera and a wide range of pro-level features inherited from Nikon's acclaimed Nikon Z8 and Nikon Z9 flagship cameras. The combination of the Nikon Z6 III's unique new sensor design and EXPEED 7 image processing engine results in an approximately 3.5x increase in readout speed compared to the previous-generation Nikon Z6 II. This unlocks enhanced performance across the board, enabling benefits such as 6K internal N-RAW and ProRes RAW video, Full HD video up to 240p, and rapid continuous shooting of stills up to 120 fps with Pre-Release Capture. However, the camera's incredible performance goes far beyond just frame rates. The Nikon Z6 III features an impressively fast AF system inherited from the Nikon Z8 and Nikon Z9, which includes highly advanced multi-subject detection with the speed and accuracy needed for maximum confidence. Offering a camera with this level of performance, reliability, and an appealing price is a winning formula for all kinds of users who need a camera that will help them excel in every job or creative endeavor, said Naoki Onozato, President and CEO of Nikon Inc. The Nikon Z6 III represents much more than a generational update–it's a significant leap forward that will establish a whole new concept of what a mid-range camera should be capable of. We expect Aquatica AZ6III, Ikelite Z6 III, Isotta Z6 III, Nauticam NA-Z6III, Sea and Sea MDX-Z6III, Seacam Z6 III, and Subal NZ6III underwater camera housings to be available shortly after the camera is released. OUTPERFORM WITH UNMATCHED FEATURESWorld's first partially-stacked sensor: The Nikon Z6 III is the first mirrorless camera to adopt this new sensor architecture, which features multiple high-speed processing circuits stacked in layers above and below the sensor's imaging area. This new sensor's high-speed readout, in combination with the same EXPEED 7 processing engine as the Nikon Z8 and Nikon Z9, enables a range of powerful features. Upgraded autofocus: The AF is fast and accurate, clocking in at a full 20% faster than the Nikon Z6 II. In challenging light, the AF detection range has been extended to an incredible −10 EV2, superior even to the flagship-level cameras. This enhanced sensitivity makes focusing in dark situations like nighttime sports or an event reception easier. Advanced subject detection: The Nikon Z6 III draws on the advanced subject-detection technology of the Nikon Z8 and Nikon Z9 to automatically detect nine subject types, including people, animals, and various vehicles. Users can lock onto these subjects with advanced AF modes, including 3D-tracking, Auto-area AF, Wide-area AF, and Dynamic-area AF. Custom wide-area AF patterns allow for the detection and tracking of subjects within a custom-designated area. Pre-Release Capture up to 120 fps: This powerful feature enables photographers to capture shots that might have been missed, such as when a bird takes flight, a lightning strike, or the game-winning goal. A half-press of the shutter-release button starts buffering images. When the shutter is pressed, the Nikon Z6 III saves pictures taken up to one second prior. Internal 6K RAW video: The Nikon Z6 III can capture 12-bit 6K/60p N-RAW and 6K/30p ProRes RAW, as well as 10-bit 5.4K ProRes 422 and H.265 video formats. The ability to capture super high-resolution video footage allows filmmakers to crop, trim, track, and stabilize a 4K timeline in post with ultimate clarity. Furthermore, filmmakers can take advantage of the Nikon Z6 III's maximum video resolution of 6K to create oversampled 4K UHD/60p video footage. The Nikon Z6 III's efficient heat-dissipating design allows continuous 4K UHD/60p recording for up to 125 min. Brightest EVF of any mirrorless camera: At up to 4,000 cd/m2 (nits), the Nikon Z6 III's 5,760k-dot electronic viewfinder is the brightest ever in a mirrorless camera. It delivers a clear, detailed view even in extremely bright outdoor situations while minimizing viewfinder blackout. In addition to its class-leading brightness and high resolution, the Nikon Z6 III's EVF is the first in a mirrorless camera to support a DCI-P3 equivalent color gamut, which enables photographers and filmmakers to see a more lifelike display of colors. Dynamic Full HD/240p slow motion: The Nikon Z6 III can capture dramatic slow-motion footage up to 10× with 10-bit Full HD/240p H.265 video recording. Amazing low-light ability: The Nikon Z6 III's wide native ISO range is from 100 to 64,000 (51,200 in video) and is expandable to 204,800 for ultra-low-light shooting. Its EXPEED 7 image processing engine enables tailored noise reduction, effectively minimizing grainy noise in flat areas of the image while preserving fine details in subjects such as buildings. This results in sharper, clearer images in low-light environments. 0-stop Vibration Reduction: Built-in 5-axis image stabilization delivers up to 8.0 stops of Vibration Reduction, empowering photographers and filmmakers to shoot handheld confidently. Enjoy the creative freedom of slower shutter speeds while keeping subjects sharp and using lower ISOs. Additionally, the Nikon Z6 III features Focus Point VR, prioritizing stabilization on the active focus point. Vari-angle LCD screen: The 3.2" rear LCD touchscreen can also be used as a front-facing screen for video production, self-recording, and framing at a low angle. High-resolution Pixel Shift mode: In Pixel-shift mode, the Nikon Z6 III's sensor is subtly shifted across 4, 8, 16, or 32 exposures for increased color and detail with an incredibly high resolution of up to approx. 96MP. Nikon Z8-level build quality: The Nikon Z6 III is constructed from magnesium alloy and Sereebo® material for maximum durability and lightweight. Weighing only 1.67 lbs. with a battery and memory card, it is sealed against dust and moisture to the same level as the Nikon Z8 and is rated for operation down to 14°F/−10°C, making it suitable for use in a wide variety of environments and conditions. Flexible Color Picture Controls: The Nikon Z6 III supports the new Flexible Color Picture Control feature in NX Studio. Nikon Z6 III owners can use the software's powerful Color Blender and Color Grading features to create custom presets that can be uploaded to the camera as Custom Picture Controls.
