At the heart of the Z6III is a partially-stacked 24.5MP CMOS sensor and EXPEED 7 processor. This powerful combination offers advanced multi-subject detection autofocus inherited from Nikon’s flagship models, extraordinary low-light image quality and a blazing fast electronic shutter capable of continuous shooting up to 120 fps. Bright, high-resolution, wide color gamut EVF supports comfortable viewing even with fast frame rates. Video features include 6K/60p internal RAW and Full HD/240p capture for 10X slow motion.
World’s first partially-stacked CMOS sensor integrates high-speed data processing circuits, resulting in an approx 3.5X faster readout speed compared to the Z6II.
High-speed sensor unlocks super-fast continuous shooting and ultra-high shutter speeds, without sacrificing viewfinder experience.
Built-in 5-axis image stabilization delivers up to 8 stops of Vibration Reduction.
Focus Point VR prioritizes stabilization on the active focus point.
Incredible power in a lightweight, compact form factor. Stunning image quality, super-accurate autofocus, and the versatility of in-camera RAW recording up to 6K/60p. Plus line-in audio, professional monitoring tools, and more.
EXPEED 7 processor delivers improved image quality at high ISO sensitivities and amazing low-light autofocus detection with Starlight Mode
for accurate composition in near-darkness.
Advanced autofocus inherited from the Z8 and Z9, including sophisticated multi-subject recognition, enhanced by Nikon’s Deep Learning technology.
Automatic recognition of 9 subjects
People, dogs, cats, birds, airplanes, cars, motorcycles, bicycles and trains.
Nail the decisive moment with confidence.
Just hold the shutter release button halfway to activate Pre-Release Capture, and the Z6III will start buffering images. JPEG files can be saved up to one second before and up to three seconds after the shutter button is fully pressed to take a photo.
Get the look you want—create your desired color profile in NX Studio, and upload it as a Custom Picture Control directly to your Z6III.
Shoot confidently in bright conditions, and view the world in more color than ever before.
Brighter
Class-leading max brightness of 4000 nits gives a clear, vibrant view even in very bright conditions.
More Detailed
5760k-dot resolution and premium viewfinder optics set a new standard for detail and clarity.
Smoother
120 fps maximum refresh rate gives natural, lifelike motion even when shooting fast action.
