Nikon ZR (body)

The ZR is the lightest all-in-one cinema camera available, designed for filmmakers and creators on the go. Its 24.5 MP full-frame sensor records 6K/60p RAW internally, including RED’s R3D NE codec, the built-in 4-inch monitor covers DCI-P3, and audio is recorded in 32-bit float.

The perfect compact FX-format cinema camera

The ZR weighs approximately 540 g (body only), is fully weather-sealed and features an innovative design that quietly and efficiently dissipates heat. The extensive range of accessories from Nikon and partner brands lets you build a system that suits your needs at any time.

Comprehensive solution

You can start shooting right away with the large built-in monitor, internal 32-bit audio recording, long recording times and other practical features. Dedicated accessories from Nikon and partner brands let you use the ZR as the heart of an extensive video system.

Large vari-angle touchscreen monitor

The built-in 4-inch monitor covers the DCI-P3 colour gamut and offers a generous 16:10 aspect ratio. Functions are controlled with soft, silent touches on the monitor, and up to 10 3D LUTs can be loaded into the camera to check the final look on the monitor while filming.

32-bit float audio recording in camera

The camera captures 32-bit audio using its internal microphones or compatible external microphones. The dynamic range of the recording is so large that you can record freely and adjust levels in post-production without risking the loss of any passages.

Versatile frame rates and resolutions

From cinematic 24p to extreme slow motion at 240p. From richly detailed 6K to brilliant and compact 1080p. Whether you are shooting for the big screen and rich editing or want footage ready to use for presentation.

Proven RED colour science and a rich choice of codecs

Whether you need 12-bit RAW for post-production or efficient codecs for fast turnaround, the ZR has you covered. RED’s exclusive R3D NE codec offers a high degree of freedom in post-production and lets you match footage from the ZR with video shot on a RED camera.

Vibration reduction and focus breathing compensation

Built-in image stabilisation with 5-axis image sensor shift helps keep footage steady when shooting handheld. Focus breathing compensation during refocusing helps achieve smoother, more natural-looking focus transitions.

Fast and intelligent autofocus system

Autofocus is fast, accurate, reliable and customisable. Intelligent subject tracking and custom wide-area AF keep every subject in focus. Plus, selectable autofocus speeds are available for smooth, repeatable focus transitions.

Dual base ISO with over 15 EV of dynamic range

Dual base ISO 800/6400 maximises image sensor performance for clean, noise-free footage. It is available when shooting with the Log3G10 curve, and the camera’s wide dynamic range of over 15 EV is maintained at both ISO values to capture maximum detail in highlights and shadows.

Cinema-quality footage straight out of camera

Creating content for immediate viewing? Four creative video modes and nine RED Picture Control presets help you achieve the desired look and feel right in camera. Try Cinematic mode, which sets the shutter angle to 180° and the frame rate to 24 fps, then adjust the tonality of your footage using RED colour presets.
