"Mirrorless reinvented," this is Nikon's answer to innovating its range of mirrorless camera combining a century's worth of imaging technology with a new dimension in optical performance, the Nikon Quality brand, and future proof memory. The Z Series was designed with the creator in mind to inspire creativity in its truest sense.
The Z 6 is the first of the Z System to be released with a high-performing Full-Frame FX format with 24.5-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, EXPEED 6 Image Processing Engine to deliver high quality, high speed and colour accurate image with a ISO sensitivity of 100-51200 reducing noise effectively even at the higher end while maintaining resolution.
The Nikon Z 6 and the rest of the Z System boasts of a compact body loaded with features comparative to its older siblings like the D850, D750 and D610 with over 20 extra features. The Z 6 can shoot with up to 12 fps and also 273-point hybrid AF system for a more fast and accurate autofocus. Movie recording is at full-frame 4K UHD, Full HD 100/120p and 10-bit N-Log.
Product Features in Detail
Nikon Quality of the Z System
Nikon prides itself with its Nikon Quality brand with its 6 components: High-precision development and manufacturing, uniformly high production quality, high image quality, robustness, ergonomics and system compatibility.
Compatibility with ease with the FTZ Adapter
While the new breed of Nikon Z Full-frame FX mirrorless cameras come with its own S-line lens series, the option of attaching the FTZ Adapter opens the doors of compatibility with more than 90 F-Mount NIKKOR lenses and compatibility of other 360 F-Mount lenses. It doesn't diminish image quality and sharpness, and enjoying the advantages of the Z 6’s in-body VR, silent shooting, PDAF focusing system, 4K video and more. It's a prayer answered to all our lens compatibility questions.
Fast, accurate autofocus
There are three major points as to why the Z Mount Series is the embodiment of Nikon quality. It has a 273-point on-sensor PDAF which can cover 90% of the frame horizontally and vertically (approximately). It makes for an easy tracking of your subject when shooting whether shooting eye-level with the EVF or on Live View. Additionally, it not only just tracks faces but the upper body as well. The Z 6 uses an AF algorithm optimised for its FX-format sensor. It automatically switches between focal-plane phase-detect AF and contrast-detect AF to fine-tune focus. With its light-shielding phase detection, the pixels are carefully arranged on the sensor to preserve light, ensuring accurate AF even in dim lighting.
Eye on the prize with the Electronic View Finder (EVF)
The Z 6 comes with the new 3.6M-Dot Quad VGA Viewfinder. Its ultra high resolution display coupled with Nikon optics for magnification makes for an experience you might've not experienced with previous Nikon cameras. It has minimal lag and blackout with 100% frame coverage, corner-to-corner clarity and sharper magnification. The new menu is customisable and appears on the right side of the viewfinder enabling you to adjust settings without even taking your eyes off your shot.
Going Steady, in-body VR Image Stabilisation
The Z 6 has a powerful in-body 5-axis VR stabilisation when you're shooting with any of the NIKKOR Z lenses. With up to 5 stops of VR Image Stabilisation, you are assured of shooting steady and sharper photos even in 5 directions: yaw, pitch, roll, X and Y. When you're recording videos, the optical VR is combined with electronic VR (e-VR) for even steadier shots. Normal VR mode for static subjects. Sports VR for moving subjects.
A Movie Powerhouse
As Nikon wants to advance their cameras into the movie making arena, the Z 6 promises to capture cinematic 6:9 4K UHD/30p video in full-frame using the total width and resolution of the Z 6’s backside-illuminated sensor. The Z6 is capable of shooting 4K Timelapse videos, 4K Full Pixel Readout, Slow motion videos with 120 fps in 1080p High Definition, 10-Bit HDMI Output for smoother and richer post-processing, smooth and quiet AF, has four-AF area modes for focus pulling whether you're shooting in Single-Point AF, Wide-Area AF (S or L) or Auto-Area AF, N-Log with View Assist for maximum detail.
HD Tilting Touchscreen
The tilting touchscreen of the Z 6 is a 3.2-inch, 2.1 Million-Dot high-resolution touchscreen. It's pretty comparable to smartphone screens with sharp and clear images and videos. It has varying functions of touch to focus, pinch to zoom, touch to fire the shutter, swipe through photos and videos, navigate settings, and pinch to magnify all in a new and improved GUI design.
Versatility
The Z 6 is a breakthrough in optical design. Its internal diameter is 17% larger than Nikon’s acclaimed F-Mount. It is also wider than any full-frame mount available as of 2018. It has an enhanced low-light performance (ISO expandable to 204,800), an even illumination from corner-to-corner, maximum apertures as wide as f/0.95, shooting at 12 fps at full resolution, faster data transfer between camera and lens. You'll have an ideal balance between mount diameter, large image sensor and flange focal distance.
Connectivity
The Z Mount Series is Nikon's fastest Wi-Fi transfer yet. It can transfer images to compatible smart devices 2x faster than previously possible—up to 25 mbps (depending on your country). You can choose between the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands for optimum transfer speeds. You can automatically connect the Bluetooth whenever your compatible smart device is in range. Send original resolution JPEGs or have the camera automatically transfer 2MB versions of your photos as you shoot them.
