Z6III PRIMARY FEATURES
The Z6III adopts the world’s first partially-stacked CMOS sensor which allows for 3.5x faster than the previous generation. This sensor allows for high-speed continuous shooting that enables Pre-Release Capture at up to 120 fps. The camera also provides an additional option of shooting at 60 fps in FX format. The Z6III is further enhanced with a bright, high-res EVF of 4000 cd/m2 and 5760k dots with a wide colour gamut, making it easier to follow fast moving subjects accredited to fast data readout from the partially-stacked CMOS sensor and quick processing of Nikon’s EXPEED 7.
For high-resolution video production, the latest Nikon model allows 6K, 5.4K and Full HD/240p for up to 10x slow-motion video creation.

The Z6III also provides the flexibility for videographers to shoot videos in 12-bit ProRes RAW HQ and N-RAW formats, offering flexibility in colour grading.
Nikon’s latest model inherits the impressive -10 EV AF detection range from the Z9 and Z8, therefore making it an excellent choice for low-light conditions. The Z6III offers superior AF performance particularly in backlit scenes, with the capability to detect up to 9 types of subjects and enhanced focus efficiency on human faces. Moreover, the Z6III boasts an upgraded AF speed, now approximately 20 percent faster than its predecessor.
The latest Nikon camera can also capture stunning low light scenes with ISO ranging from 51200 for videos and 64000 for photos. The Z6III expands handheld shooting opportunities in low-light situations such as indoor scenes and nightscapes. Thanks to the EXPEED 7 high-speed image-processing engine, which helps in High ISO noise reduction, hence preserving the intricate textures in your photographs. The Z6III also achieves one of the highest in-camera Vibration Reduction (VR) in the Nikon Z series cameras with an 8.0-stop. The Nikon Z6III is equipped with focus point VR that reduces blurring in focused areas making it easy to frame subjects around peripheries. It is also equipped with electronic VR for more effective image stabilisation during video recording.
The Z6III suits the needs of photographers who capture landscapes and wildlife in winter. Consisting of Sereebo® P series carbon fibre, magnesium alloy, and effective sealing, this robust and cold-resistant camera can be used in temperatures reaching -10 degrees Celsius. Gain better control over your creative photography with Flexible Color Picture Control for use with the NX Studio – Nikon’s image browsing, processing, and editing software. This exciting new option allows users greater freedom of expression for users with the support of Colour Blender and Colour Grading features, enabling the intuitive adjustment of light and colours to match your intent. Users can then export the combinations of configured settings from the NX Studio to the Z6III and register these as Custom Picture Controls, applicable at any time while shooting and reflected on the live display, for real-time preview of the results.
Further, Z6III works in tandem with Nikon’s new cloud service, Nikon Imaging Cloud with support for new Imaging Recipes to expand possibilities for imaging expression. The Z6III firmware can be updated without the need for a computer or a smart device, with images captured by the camera to be uploaded automatically to Nikon Imaging Cloud as soon as it connects via Wi-Fi and transferred to pre-configured third-party cloud storage services, making the storage and sharing of images even more convenient.
NIKON IMAGING CLOUD PRIMARY FEATURES

Imaging Recipes provided by Nikon Imaging Cloud have been suggested by Nikon or supervised by creators and allow users to experience new imaging styles they have never attempted before. When the camera is connected to Nikon Imaging Cloud via Wi-Fi, still images captured with the camera can be automatically uploaded directly to the service or pre-configured third-party cloud storage services, greatly reducing the work involved with data transfer. In addition, camera firmware updates can be performed automatically at a specified time by enabling auto updates on the camera.
