Nikon ZR 6K Cinema Camera

Nikon + RED Color Science: A Game-Changing Collaboration

Experience the best of both worlds with the powerful integration of Nikon and RED’s color science. The ZR camera supports a wide range of professional production workflows, including the REDCODE RAW (R3D NE) format — unlocking the same REDWideGamutRGB color space and Log3G10 curve found in RED cinema cameras.

In addition to R3D NE, the ZR supports Nikon’s N-RAW, ProRes RAW HQ/422 HQ, and high-quality compressed codecs like H.264 and H.265. Capture stunning footage in 6K at 60fps, 4K at 120fps, or 1080p at 240fps for smooth slow-motion shots.

High-Quality Audio Capture with Pro-Level Control

Audio matters — and the ZR delivers. It records professional-grade sound using 32-bit float and 24-bit formats, supporting standard 48 kHz linear PCM for full compatibility with video editing software.

• Front/Narrow

• Front

• Rear

• Omnidirectional
