Nikon ZR Z Mount Overview
By combining RED color science and Nikon engineering, the Nikon ZR Cinema Camera is a first-of-its-kind powerhouse designed to capture stunning cinematic images in one compact body. This tiny Z-mount cinema camera allows you to use a variety of lenses, and internal stabilization provides a smooth, steady image with 15+ stops of dynamic range. Features include 32-bit float audio, advanced autofocus, dual-base ISO, and up to 6K60 video capture in REDCODE, N-RAW, or ProRes RAW.
NOTE: The ZR features a “free-floating” IBIS sensor, and you may hear it “rattle” when the camera is not turned on. This is a normal occurrence. The sensor locks into place when the camera turns on and the stabilization function is enabled.
The partnership of Nikon and RED provides a wide range of compatibility with production workflows, offering REDCODE RAW R3D NE recording format along with Nikon’s N-RAW, ProRes RAW HQ/422 HQ, and the high-quality compressed H.264 and H.265 codecs. REDCODE RAW (R3D NE) unlocks the same color space (REDWideGamutRGB) and Log curve (Log3G10) as RED cameras.
The camera captures resolutions up to 6K60, 4K120, and even 1080p240 for high frame rate, slow-motion recording
The ZR captures high-quality audio using dynamic 32-bit float and 24-bit recording, and it supports standard 48 kHz linear PCM for full video compatibility.It features built-in configurable mics with five directional patterns (front/narrow, front, rear, omnidirectional, and binaural). There’s also a line input that provides the ability to record with an external microphone, and the camera’s digital accessory shoe that can utilize mics such as the ME-D10 shotgun mic. A headphone jack allows you to monitor the audio.
The Nikon Z mount is a wide, shallow full-frame mirrorless lens mount, which means it’s also extremely adaptable, capable of supporting countless NIKKOR and third-party lenses.There’s an extended ecosystem of accessories for the ZR, such as camera cages, microphones, handheld accessories, and rigs, from Nikon and third-party brands such as SmallRig.
The built-in 4″ variable-angle touchscreen display features a DCI-P3 color gamut, 1000 cd/m² brightness, and a 3.07 million dot resolution for viewing your controls and footage with ease.The display can automatically flip when you change from horizontal to vertical mode.
The Viltrox ZMOVE Series Lens Mount Adaptor (PL Cine to Nikon Z) allows filmmakers to use professional PL Cine lenses on Nikon Z cameras with precise alignment and reliable performance. Crafted from lightweight aluminium alloy and stainless steel, it offers a perfect balance of strength and portability, making it ideal for demanding shooting environments.
