Experience high-resolution visuals and a wide colour gamut with 4000 cd/m2 luminance and DCI-P3.
Seamless Clarity.
Powered by a fast, partially-stacked sensor and EXPEED 7 image-processing engine, the EVF offers seamless clarity at 60fps, even during high-speed shooting.
Enjoy distortion-free, high-resolution images with minimal aberration at 5760k-dot.
Blink and You Won’t Miss It.
Never miss a moment with Pre-Release Capture even at speeds up to 120fps in high-speed continuous shooting7. The Nikon Z6III lets you seize the moments before fully pressing the shutter button. Additionally, enjoy added flexibility with C60 in 24MP when shooting in FX image area size (36×24).
Take It to the Clouds.
Launching with the Nikon Z6III, the Nikon Imaging Cloud* is an all-new cloud library jam-packed with stunning Nikon pre-sets and user imaging recipes for instant application. Plus, enjoy wireless image uploads and automatic firmware updates.

Your Canvas. Your Creativity.
Your creative canvas is yours to control.
Masterfully tailor your colours with Flexible Colour Picture Control in NX Studio and create personalised shooting profiles.
Capture flawless portraits with on-camera Picture Control, with Rich Tone Portrait & Skin Softening.
Effortless focus. Exceptional clarity.
Get exceptional shots in low-light with the Nikon Z6III’s natural AF & ISO performance. With 9 types of subject detection and advanced ISO capabilities including -10EV8 and ISO 64000 (up to ISO 51200 for video), achieve minimal noise and maximum clarity, even in dim environments. Enhanced by deep learning, the AF detects human faces filling just 3% of the frame, even in backlit scenes.
Clear as day. Even at night.
Experience edge-to-edge clarity and sharpness. Nikon’s Focus-Point VR intelligently captures focused subjects9, while the 8.0-stop10 in-camera VR opens up new possibilities for handheld night photography.
Built to Outperform.
With the ability to shoot in freezing conditions down to -10°C, the Nikon Z6III inherits the same durable operability and customisation high-end Nikon users rely on. And with an additional MB-N14 battery pack you can boost your Nikon Z6III’s battery life by approximately 1.9x.
1 In photo mode (set to 14-bit RAW).
2 The angle of view is 95% of FX.
3 When using H.265 8-bit (MOV) format, with auto temperature cutout set to [High], at 23°C, paired with a Nikon MC-CF660G memory card and an external power source.
4 Note that the maximum output level drops due to loss of highlight data. We recommend selecting a low value for zebra pattern. A Highlight threshold around [230] is recommended for Lo 1.0 and [200] for Lo 2.0.
5 With electronic VR, the angle of view becomes equivalent to 1.25× the focal length of the lens in use. Not compatible with RAW video, 5.4K or frame rates of 100p or higher.
6 Among full-frame/FX-format mirrorless cameras as of June 17, 2024. Based on Nikon research.
7 In JPEG only.
8 In photo mode using single-servo AF (AF-S) at ISO 100 equivalent and a temperature of 20°C/68°F with a f/1.2 lens.
9 Only in Photo mode with NIKKOR Z lenses without VR. It does not work when multiple focus points are displayed.
10 Using the telephoto end of the NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S. Based on CIPA Standards.
