Nikon | RED extends Z CINEMA line with ZR full frame camera

Nikon | RED extends the Z CINEMA line with the addition of the ZR full-frame cinema camera. Built for filmmakers and creators on the move, the ZR is the lightest all-in-one cinema camera around and punches well above its weight in cinematic power.

From carefully staged scenes to run-and-gun video footage, the ZR is the perfect tool for storytellers who want to elevate their video output. Up to 6K/60p in-camera recording and a full suite of professional video recording formats provide the flexibility to deliver for practically any platform or workflow. Standout features include an exclusive R3D NE codec, which brings renowned RED colour science to Nikon. Plus, the ZR boasts a Dual Base ISO of 800/6400 which maintains the sensor’s 15+ stop dynamic range for maximum detail in highlights and shadows.

For agile set-ups, the ZR’s 4-inch Vari-angle monitor is a huge asset. The large, bright display functions as an expansive control hub and it covers the DCI-P3 colour gamut for accurate on-set colour monitoring. Since the picture is only half the story, the ZR also makes its mark as the first camera in the world1 to offer internal 32-bit float audio recording. The dynamic range of 32-bit audio is so vast that levels won’t need to be monitored constantly during filming: sound can be captured freely, and the levels adjusted in post without clipping.

Other professional ZR features include full weather sealing and vast lens choice thanks to compatibility with Nikon and third-party lenses. In addition, the ZR offers extensive system expandability, and Nikon’s new ME-D10 digital shotgun mic covers rich directional audio capture in a wide range of recording environments.

Zurab Kiknadze, Product Manager, Nikon Europe says: “Today, we’re raising the curtain on the first truly cinematic Nikon camera. Our collaboration with RED is bearing fruit, and the cinematic future looks bright!”
