Introducing the Nikon Z6 III Mirrorless Digital Camera Body - Full Frame, 24.5 Mp. A remarkable upgrade, featuring the world's first partially-stacked CMOS sensor with 24.5 effective megapixels. This innovation achieves an approximately 3.5x faster readout than its predecessor, the Z6II, enabling more efficient image processing and enhanced performance. With pre-release capture at up to 120 fps, users can capture moments up to 1 second before fully pressing the shutter release button, ensuring no fleeting moment is missed.
In terms of video capabilities, the Z6 III offers flexible in-camera recording options, including 6K N-RAW/ProRes RAW and 5.4K ProRes 422 HQ & H.265 formats. This allows for professional-grade video capture with high resolution and superior quality. Additionally, the camera supports Full HD/240p, providing the flexibility to create 10x slow-motion videos in 10-bit H.265, catering to videographers who need high-quality slow-motion footage.
The Nikon Z6 III also boasts the world's brightest EVF at 4000 cd/m2, with a wide DCI-P3 color gamut and a 5760k-dot high-resolution display. This ensures a clear and accurate view of the scene, making it easier to compose and review shots. The camera's robust build is equivalent to the Z8, making it durable enough to function in cold environments down to -10C/14F. The high-performance autofocus system, inherited from the Z9 and Z8, detects nine different subject types, providing precise and reliable focus across various shooting scenarios.
