Nikon ZR Cinema Camera

Product Description

Bring cinematic storytelling to life with the Nikon ZR Cinema Camera, a compact full-frame filmmaking camera developed through Nikon’s collaboration with RED Digital Cinema. Designed for filmmakers, videographers, and content creators, the ZR combines RED colour science, advanced autofocus, and versatile internal recording formats to support everything from documentaries and commercials to short films and social media productions.

Its 24.5MP full-frame CMOS sensor captures detailed footage with over 15 stops of dynamic range, helping preserve highlights and shadows in challenging lighting. Record up to 6K/60p internally using the 12-bit R3D NE RAW format, which brings RED’s distinctive colour science into a lightweight Nikon camera without requiring an external RAW recorder. Additional recording options include Nikon N-RAW, Apple ProRes RAW HQ, and high-frame-rate 4K recording up to 119.88p for smooth cinematic slow motion.

The ZR also features a bright 4-inch vari-angle touchscreen for monitoring and framing, plus intelligent autofocus with detection for nine subject types. Its innovative 32-bit float audio recording through the built-in microphone or compatible external audio input helps capture a wide range of sound levels with greater flexibility in post-production.

With its Nikon Z mount, compact body, and fanless heat-dissipation design, the Nikon ZR is a versatile choice for mobile filmmaking, independent productions, and professional video workflows. Explore the ZR to build a cinema setup around your creative vision.
