Overview of the Nikon Z6 III Mirrorless Camera with 24-70mm f/4 S Lens

The Nikon Z6 III is a groundbreaking hybrid full-frame mirrorless camera that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in both photography and videography. Paired with the versatile NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S lens, this kit offers the perfect combination for creators who demand performance, portability, and exceptional image quality Z6III's sensor features a 24.5MP partially stacked design that enables the camera produce faster scans and readouts when compared to Nikon Z6II, as well as reducing rolling shutter. Complementing the sensor is the EXPEED 7 processor, this provides for Z6III being approximately 10x faster than the Z6II. Working together with the partially stacked sensor, Z6III is able to realize impressively fast AF speeds, burst shooting rates, a high buffer capacity, fluid video performance, and quick all-around handling. It can shoot at upto 20 fps continuous shooting speeds when shooting in raw, up to 60 fps when shooting in full-frame JPEG, and 120 fps when shooting JPEGs using a DX crop, with all rates supporting full AF/AE performance. It is also able to buffer over 1000 images in a burst when using the electronic shutter, meaning image sequences can be recorded for approximately 50 seconds continuously.

Pre-release capture at up to 120 fps helps make decisive moment shots easier by recording frames in a burst for up to a second prior to actually releasing the shutter. When this feature is activated, burst shooting will commence when the shutter is half-pressed and the buffer will retain up to 4 seconds' worth of frames after fully pressing the shutter. An electronic shutter featured in this camera affords a top shutter speed of 1/16,000 sec for working in the brightest conditions with wider apertures. Reduction of the rolling shutter distortion by the partially stacked sensor results in fast-moving subjects not appearing distorted when working with shutter speeds of up to 1/16,000 sec. AF calculations are done at a 120 fps rate to keep up with fast continuous shooting speeds.

The Z6III's processor covers the full sensor area thus unlocking Nikon's 299-point phase-detection AF system to realize fast and accurate focusing. High-speed communication of the Z interface along with the speed of the sensor provides for AF readings to occur at up to 120 fps. This also supports working in low-light conditions with a Starlight mode that permits focusing down to -10 EV. Featuring the highest native ISO in a Z-series camera at ISO 64000, the autofocus is also useful for working in difficult lighting conditions. The Backlit AF function uses separate pixels on the sensor that allows these areas to intentionally overexpose for focusing accuracy purposes without impacting the actual exposure of the recorded image.

3D Tracking AF is available in this camera and when it is paired with subject detection one is able to lock onto fast, erratically moving subjects that move parallel and perpendicular to the camera. Additionally, there are three Dynamic-Area AF modes, with a range of focus area sizes, for capturing a broad variety of moving subject types.

Nikon Z6 iii can also record high-quality videos, with a variety of resolutions and frame rates available up to 6K. 6K60p video can be recorded with continuous shooting, while 4K and Full HD recording is also possible in a variety of frame rates, including full-frame 4K recording at up to 120p and Full HD recording at 240p for slow-motion playback. Internal 12-bit raw raw recording at up to 6K 60p in the N-RAW format is supported along with internal ProRES RAW HQ. Raw recording offers greater tonal and color latitude and can improve dynamic range, benefitting color grading needs and post-production flexibility. Internal recording is also supported with 10-bit color and 4:2:2 sampling in the ProRes 422 HQ codec and 4:2:0 sampling in the H.265 codec at 5.4K 30p and 5.4K 60p, respectively. THis kit comes with a staple zoom lens for every creator with edge-to-edge sharpness, a constant f/4 aperture, and lightweight build, ideal for landscapes, portraits, travel, and everyday shooting. In regard to the optical design, a unique aspherical extra-low dispersion element, in addition to three aspherical elements, is used to help reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions throughout the zoom range in order to achieve high image sharpness and clarity. Both Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings have also been applied to control flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color rendering in bright and backlit conditions.

More Beautiful Portraits

• Nikon Z6III has several portait modes with a series of processing tools and shooting functions to improve on the result. Portrait mode processes portraits for skin with natural texture and a rounded feel
• Rich Tone Portrait mode, a picture mode that produces more vivid results while capturing details of the subject's complexion and avoiding loss of detail in the highlights
• Flat Monochrome mode features gentle gradations from highlights to shadows, producing soft monochrome portraits
• Deep Tone Monochrome mode chooses slightly darker tones in the range from shadows to mid-tones, with brightness rapidly increasing as tones progress from mid-tones to highlights
• Skin softening can be used on up to three subjects in a shot and slightly blurs the skin for a more pleasing texture while still retaining essential sharpness.
