Nikon ZR Cinema Body Only Z Mount
Despite being the smallest model in the Nikon Z cinema series, this Nikon Cinema ZR features a high-quality full-frame image sensor, which can produce internal 6K RAW video capture. Videos captured with the Nikon ZR are eye-catching with excellent colour science, thanks to it being developed in collaboration with RED, now a subsidiary of Nikon. This portable Nikon cinema camera is designed to replace bulky multi-component rigs, while it is still a rugged workhorse, with the magnesium alloy body also featuring dust and drip-resistance. Other highlights of the ZR include pro-level audio connectivity and an advanced heat-dissipating design, which provides up to two hours of silent continuous video recording, without overheating.
Advanced cinematic output, out of the box
The Nikon ZR camera is designed to give filmmakers powerful creative tools right out of the box. Its dedicated Cinematic Video Mode provides a simplified way to get professional-looking footage by using a standard shutter angle, frame rate, and colour tone. For more creative looks, you can choose from nine pre-made "Imaging Recipes" and see a real-time preview of the effect.
For advanced users, the ZR offers incredible flexibility. It's the first Nikon camera to use the RED R3D NE codec, allowing it to record in seven different formats, including 12-bit RAW for maximum detail and editing freedom. This includes high-resolution 6K and 4K recording.
The ZR also includes a suite of professional monitoring tools. The 4.0-inch LCD screen supports LUTs (Look-Up Tables), which allows you to preview a final color-graded look while you're still shooting. Other tools, like waveforms, histograms, and zebra stripes, help you accurately monitor exposure.
Finally, the camera's autofocus system is a standout feature. It uses deep learning with 273 focus points to track a wide range of subjects, including people, animals, vehicles, and even aircraft. Its face detection is so precise it can recognize a subject's face even when they take up as little as 3% of the frame, making it reliable for wide shots and fast-moving scenes.
Perfect for remote, multi-camera setups
The Nikon ZR camera is designed for modern video production, making it a great choice for live, remote, and multi-camera setups. Its comprehensive HDMI and USB-C connectivity, along with features like tally light compatibility and on-air indicators, make it an ideal tool for studio environments and livestreaming.
The camera's efficient heat dissipation allows for silent operation and extended recording without the risk of noise or overheating. The Z mount system gives you the flexibility to use a wide variety of native Nikon lenses, as well as adapted third-party options.
For audio, the ZR stands out with the world's first native 32-bit float audio recording through a 3.5mm jack. This feature captures a wide dynamic range without the risk of clipping, even with the built-in microphone. The integrated OZO Audio system offers five different pickup patterns, including a voice-isolated mode and a 360-degree mode. It can also be paired with the optional ME-D10 shotgun microphone for professional, broadcast-quality sound without the need for external batteries or XLR inputs.
