Introduction
The Z6 III is the long-awaited alternative for 2020’s Z6 II mid-range mirrorless digicam, which was itself solely a modest replace of the unique Z6 that was launched method again in 2018. The 2024 model is an altogether completely different beast that represents an enormous step ahead for Nikon’s extra inexpensive full-frame cameras, on paper no less than. Whereas the megapixel rely stays the identical as its predecessor at 24.5MP, it now boasts a world’s first “partially-stacked” sensor design which affords sooner scan charges and readouts than its predecessor. In flip, this guarantees to supply extra detailed photos with elevated dynamic vary and extra correct color constancy. As well as the broader native ISO vary now runs from 100 to 64000 (expandable to 50-204800). Together with the identical EXPEED 7 processor that drives the higher-end Z8 and Z9 fashions, the brand new sensor delivers a raft of enhancements comparable to sooner auto-focusing, as much as 120fps burst taking pictures full with Pre-Launch Seize, a 4000-nit, 5670k-dot EVF that is 33% brighter than the flagship Z9, and decreased rolling shutter distortion for fast-moving topics. Different key options of the Z6 III embrace inside 6K/60p RAW, 4K/120p and 1080/240p video, 8.0 stops of 5-axis picture stabilisation, high shutter velocity of 1/16,000 sec, totally articulating 2100k-dot touchscreen, climate sealing and chilly resistance right down to -10 C/14 F, twin CFexpress Sort B and UHS-II SD reminiscence card slots, and help for 96 megapixel photos utilizing pixel shift know-how.

Learn on for our in-depth Nikon Z6 III evaluate, full with full-size pattern pictures and movies so that you can obtain and consider.
Ease of Use
Nikon has used just about the identical physique design for the Z6 III because the Z6 II, which does not come as an important shock in a mature market the place upgrades are much less frequent and extra incremental.
Measuring 138.5 x 101.5 x 74 mm (5.5 x 4 x 3 in.) and weighing 760 g (1 lb. 10.9 oz.) with battery and reminiscence card, fitted, it’s a few mm wider and deeper and 45g heavier than its predecessor, primarily to accommodate the chunkier hand grip, which we predict is unquestionably well worth the commerce off for the marginally higher dealing with that it affords.
In any other case you would be hard-pressed to to inform the 2 cameras aside side-by-side, with the exterior management layouts being nearly an identical – it is contained in the digicam the place nearly all of the enhancements have been made.
Burst taking pictures charges and buffer capacities have been vastly improved on this new Z6 mannequin. The Z6 II was no slouch, providing 14fps charges and a buffer of 112 raws or 200 JPEGs. The Mark III takes issues to a different degree, although, now being able to taking pictures at 120fps (10MP DX-format JPEGs), or 60fps (24MP full-frame JPEGs), or 20fps (as much as 1,000 24MP full-frame RAWs), all utilizing the digital shutter, or 14fps with the mechanical shutter.
As well as, the Z6 III additionally boasts Pre-Launch Seize, an important characteristic that makes it simpler to seize the decisive second even when taking pictures at 120fps. When activated, the digicam can buffer photos as much as 1 second earlier than you totally depress the shutter button. Burst taking pictures then begins when the shutter is half-pressed and the buffer will retain as much as 4 seconds’ price of frames after totally urgent the shutter.
There’s one vital caveat when utilizing this mode, which applies to all of the Nikon digicam that provide it thus far. Pre-Launch Seize is just obtainable when taking pictures JPEGs, not RAW information, whereas the rival Canon EOS R6 II helps each JPEG and RAW codecs for its equal characteristic.
On a extra constructive observe, the Nikon Z6 III can shoot at 60fps at full decision within the Pre-Launch Seize mode, one thing that no different Nikon digicam can match, together with each the Z8 and Z9 (they each scale back the decision to 19 megapixels).
Backing up the improved burst taking pictures and making the Z6 III a lot better suited to wildlife and sports activities images is the revamped auto-focus system which is similar to the one discovered on the flagship Z8/Z9.
The 493-point phase-detection AF system covers the complete sensor space and AF calculations are performed at as much as 120fps to maintain up with the quick steady taking pictures speeds.
3D Monitoring AF inherited from the corporate’s DSLR cameras helps the Z6 III to trace fast-moving topics, with the digicam utilizing a single AF level to trace no matter’s beneath it whilst you half-press the shutter button.
It additionally inherits most, however not all, of the topic recognition modes which are obtainable on the Zf, Z8 and Z9, with the notable exception of a devoted chicken detection mode which is a part of the extra basic animal detection mode.
When paired with an F1.2 lens, the Z6 III boasts AF sensitivity which means it may possibly auto-focus right down to an unimaginable -10EV, even when not utilizing the particular Starlight AF taking pictures mode.
By way of AF efficiency, the Z6 III represents an enormous enchancment when put next with the Z6 II, getting it proper much more continuously than that digicam did and making it a lot simpler to suggest for anyone that shoots lots of shifting topics, comparable to wildlife or sport.
The in-body picture stabilization system has been considerably improved with the Z6 III now providing 8.0 stops of 5-axis picture stabilisation constructed into the digicam’s physique, up from 5 stops on the Z6 II, plus there’s electronic-VR for video recording. The non-obligatory Focus Level VR characteristic stabilises the world across the lively focus level when taking pictures stills.
The Z6III’s video capabilities have additionally gained a major improve within the 4 years for the reason that launch of the Mark II model.
The brand new mannequin affords 12-bit 6K and oversampled 4K RAW (N-RAW and ProRES RAW ) recording internally as much as 60fps for N-RAW and 30fps for ProRES, plus common 4K at as much as 120fps (1.5x crop) and 10x gradual movement as much as 240fps in Full HD.
Inside recording can be supported with 10-bit colour and 4:2:2 sampling within the ProRes 422 HQ codec and 4:2:0 sampling within the H.265 codec at 5.4K 30p and 5.4K 60p.
The utmost recording time is a powerful 120 minutes, regardless of the absence of a cooling fan or different heat-dissipating design.
As with its predecessor, Nikon has opted for a chunky and strong design which shrinks down all of the important components of the bigger Z8/Z9 fashions, with out it being frustratingly small to make use of.
The physique of the Z6 III continues to be replete with loads of dials and buttons which all have sufficient area to breathe, and we’ll undergo these in additional element as we progress by means of this evaluate.
It feels very well-built and has a premium-feeling textured overlaying across the hand-grip and rear thumb relaxation, which helps to each make the digicam really feel comfy and safe in your hand in addition to including to the final feeling of high quality.
A lot of the buttons and dials are discovered on the proper hand aspect of the digicam, notably people who you are probably to make use of continuously. Meaning you can also make virtually the entire fundamental adjustments to settings utilizing simply your proper hand and conceivably even use the digicam one-handed in case you so wished.

It is an effective way to shortly verify you probably have the settings you need chosen, with out having to show the digicam on and examine the rear display.
To the proper of the display, there’s a big unmarked dial which you’ll be able to rotate along with your thumb and is used to regulate completely different settings relying on the taking pictures mode you are in – for instance in shutter precedence mode, it’s going to management the shutter velocity. You can too use it at the side of one of many different buttons – comparable to ISO – to make changes.
Towards the entrance of the highest plate, on the high of the grip, you may discover the Off/On change, in addition to the shutter launch button. That is surrounded by a devoted video file button, an ISO button and an publicity compensation button.
On the entrance/high of the hand-grip is one other scrolling dial, which once more controls completely different settings relying on the mode you are utilizing – for instance in aperture precedence mode, it adjusts the aperture setting.
The rear of the digicam is the place you may discover nearly all of the buttons. Beginning on the high, you have acquired a show button which you should use to regulate how each the display and the viewfinder shows – for instance, you may change off the reside view feed altogether and simply present settings on the rear display, and you may change on and off a histogram and horizon degree. Within the viewfinder you may toggle on the extent, histogram and show across the body.
Across the show button, there is a change which you should use to maneuver between stills mode and video mode. It is fairly a stiff change, so it is unlikely you’d do that by chance and find yourself within the mistaken mode.
To the proper of this button/dial mixture is the AF-on button, which you’ll be able to customise to permit for back-button focusing in case you choose to activate AF in that method. Which means that while you press the shutter launch, it will not try and refocus once more, which is beneficial for focusing and recomposing, or for photographing fast shifting topics.
Beneath the AF-On button, there is a joystick. This is available in extraordinarily useful for shifting the AF level across the body, both whereas composing by way of the display, or whereas composing by way of the viewfinder.
In contrast to another cameras in the marketplace, you may’t use the touchscreen whereas taking pictures by means of the viewfinder, so it is very probably you may be utilizing the joystick for this function. You can too use the stick to maneuver round both the short or full menu.
You possibly can entry a fast menu by urgent the “i” button beneath the mode dial. Right here you may discover a group of settings which you are probably to make use of continuously, comparable to Image Management, Flash, Launch mode, AF-area mode, metering, and so forth. You possibly can navigate round this menu both through the use of the joystick, the directional keys or by bearing on the setting you need to change.
You possibly can then use the scrolling dials to regulate the setting as required. When you discover there are settings on this menu that you do not use all that always, you may customise the “i” menu in the primary menu, swapping out any settings you do not use for ones which you do. One other technique to entry the short menu is to faucet the “i” displayed on the digicam display, too.
Beneath the “i” button is an unmarked four-way navigational pad, with an OK button on the centre. You need to use the directional keys to maneuver the AF level across the display, in addition to navigate round photos in playback, or deliver up details about mentioned photos. The OK button can be utilized for menu navigation, but additionally for features comparable to resetting the AF level to the centre of the body.
Beneath the navi-pad is a button with a magnifying glass on it, which you should use to zoom into the scene you are photographing – it is notably helpful for checking essential focus, particularly when utilizing handbook focus.
Instantly beneath it there is a zoom out button, too. You can too use these buttons in playback to examine areas of the scene.

You may discover the twin reminiscence card slots behind a door which doubles up because the rear thumb relaxation. There’s one slot for XQD / CFExpress, whereas the secondary slot accepts SD format playing cards.

There are a selection of how you may arrange the secondary slot – you may both have it as a backup slot, which makes a straight copy of the primary card as you are taking pictures, you may have arrange as “overflow”, so it solely comes into play when the primary card is full, or you may arrange each playing cards to file completely different codecs. So, you may have the XQD card slot file uncooked information, and the SD card slot file JPEGs, or one may file stills, and the opposite film.
Two issues which have modified for the reason that earlier model are the rear LCD display and the digital viewfinder. The Z6 III now has a a lot higher-resolution 5670k-dot OLED viewfinder with a refresh fee of 60fps, plus 4000-nit brightness which is 33% brighter than the flagship Z9. One other first on a Nikon digicam is the EVF’s large (DCI-P3) color gamut which shows extra life-like colors with no color banding.
You possibly can set the viewfinder to modify on mechanically as you elevate the digicam to your eye (the default setting), or you may change it to so it is completely on (and the rear display will not be / shows solely digicam settings), or you may even set it to completely off in case you choose.
A button on the left-hand aspect of the viewfinder controls all of those settings, whereas there is a diopter dial on the alternative aspect of the finder for adjusting the main focus of the viewfinder.
Additionally upgraded on the Mark III model of the Z6 is the rear display.
