Hi-res EVF
Immerse in your creative zone with the bright, ultra-high-resolution EVF that gives you a fluid high-definition view, and an extra-wide colour space for more accurate colour. With a refresh rate of 60 fps, the 5760k-dot EVF displays a consistently smooth, full-resolution view during shooting and playpack. Sharpness is incredible throughout the frame, making it easier to confirm focus, and there's no jolting or drops in resolution when shooting at high frame rates.

Shooting scenes with bright sun and deep shade? The high-luminance (4000 nits) EVF provides excellent visibility and dynamic range in high-contrast situations. Even on the brightest day, details like facial features or background elements won't be hidden in shadows, so you can frame your shot perfectly. The Z6III is the first mirrorless camera to have an EVF with a wide DCI-P3 colour gamut! You'll see more lifelike colours with no colour banding. HEIF and JPEG files straight from the camera will look the way you intended.

World’s first partially stacked CMOS sensor
The partially stacked sensor of the Z6III is so much more than the sum of its 24.5 megapixels. It’s designed to let this full-frame camera think big and stay compact––and it delivers in every way. Backed by the power of EXPEED 7, this partially stacked full-frame CMOS sensor delivers incredible image quality with eye-widening dynamic range and colour fidelity. Phenomenal sensor scan speeds and ultra-fast data readout fuel blazing AF calculations on a level with the Z8 and Z9, counter rolling shutter distortion, and enable EVF refresh rates of 60 fps during continuous shooting at 20 fps.

Flagship AF features you can trust. Always.
However they move, the Z6III mirrorless camera sticks to your subject like glue. Flagship autofocus features bring you consistently reliable subject acquisition and tracking that won’t let go—even in the dark. Blisteringly fast AF calculations on a par with the Z8 and Z9 allow remarkable precision at high-speed frame rates, while deep-learning technology powers impressive subject detection in Auto-Area AF and Manual Focus, or when using Auto Capture. There are also dedicated subject detection modes for people and animals: tracking on the eyes is incredible, even if your subject is extremely small in the frame. If you’re shooting as daylight fades, before the sun rises, or at night, AF sensitivity down to –10 EV* means you can keep shooting longer. If you’re out in bright conditions, dedicated AF pixels on the camera’s sensor keep faces in focus even if they’re in shadow or backlit.

A tough build for all your creative journeys
Small yet tough. Perfectly light yet incredibly durable. Weighing just 750 g, the Z6III full-frame camera is born to travel and engineered to embrace the elements. Both body and battery function in temperatures as cold as –10 °C, which makes trekking into wintry locations in search of the perfect wildlife shot entirely possible. You can put rainy and dusty environments on your travel itinerary too: premium weather sealing protects the camera. Knocks and bumps won’t worry the Z6III. When the camera is powered off, a VR lock activates to prevent accidental damage to the sensor. Plus, the magnesium-alloy front cover keeps the camera light while also being incredibly resistant to impact.

Nikon’s renowned ergonomics and customization
Responsiveness you can feel. A control layout so well thought out, you won’t have to think. Customisation inherited from the Nikon Z8 and Z9 cameras includes the ability to assign different AF-area modes to custom buttons: you’ll be able to switch AF modes quickly, whenever the situation asks for it. For viewfinder shooting, Touch FN lets you assign different functions—including focus point—to the high-resolution vari-angle touchscreen. With your eye to the viewfinder, you can move the focus point quickly and easily with a flick of your thumb. There are separate display interfaces for stills and video. Plus, the Z6III’s streamlined body still has space for two card slots—giving you options when it comes to shooting and storage. One slot supports high-performance CFexpress Type B cards or XQD cards, and one slot supports UHS-II SD cards.

Power your creativity with 6K
More detail. More flexibility. More you. When you have the power of 6K resolution to work with in-camera, and pro-quality sound as you film, it’s so much easier to push your creative vision forwards.

Stay fluid with high-res, in-camera video formats
With the Z6III full-frame camera, you’re free to roll without external monitors. In-camera recording up to 6K/60p (RAW) and 5.4K/60p (YUV) lets you deliver pristine footage straight from the camera, pull HD verticals for your socials—and so much more. You can create detail-rich 4K UHD/60p video oversampled from 6K in-camera. Or shoot 10-bit log files with extensive depth and dynamic range, ready for precise colour grading.

Film majestic slow motion at 240p
Show the beauty of the moves inside the moves with majestic slow-motion sequences. You can record full frame, Full HD footage at 240p (10x slow motion). Or tighten the view without changing lenses by recording in DX-crop mode at 4K/120p. The option to record in 10-bit H.265 gives you maximum flexibility over colour grading in post.

High-resolution vari-angle touchscreen
No matter which angle you’re filming from, the fully articulating 2100k-dot vari-angle touchscreen always gives you a clear, highly detailed view of the scene. Key shooting information including a waveform can be displayed, and a red border frame confirms you’re recording. Filming yourself? You can flip the screen around to a front-facing orientation.

Blink and you won’t miss
Go all out with an incredible 120 fps and Pre-Release Capture. You’ll nail the decisive moment, even if it happened before you released the shutter.

Own the art of movement
Don’t let its size fool you—the partially stacked 24.5 MP sensor of the Z6III delivers a performance that easily outpaces the Z6II. You can unleash 120 fps (10 MP DX-format JPEGs), or 60 fps (24 MP full-frame JPEGs) without worrying about rolling shutter distortion. Full pixel readout maintains dynamic range, so you can even crop in without compromising image detail.

8-stop VR with focus-point stabilization
An incredible 8.0 stops of in-camera image stabilisation2 gives you the freedom to nail super-sharp handheld shots, even at night. If you’re using a NIKKOR Z lens without built-in VR, Focus Point VR3 will stabilise the area around the active focus point no matter where it is in the frame: it’s a game changer for creative wide-angle compositions.

Go for mesmerising with Pixel Shift
If you’ve always wanted to explore ultra-high-resolution photography, now’s your chance! Activate Pixel Shift on the Z6III and you can merge multiple RAW files into one 96-megapixel image with spectacular colour and low noise. Shooting still subjects with the camera on a tripod will give you the best results. Simply use Nikon’s free NX Studio software to combine the files.
