Nikon RED Z Cinema Camera – 6K Full-Frame, 32-Bit Audio, 4-Inch Touchscreen, 24-50mm Zoom Lens

Nikon RED Z Cinema: Compact cinema power reimagined

In a collaboration between Nikon and RED, the Nikon RED Z Cinema redefines what a compact cinema camera can be. It stands out as the world’s first full-frame 6K cinema camera capable of capturing REDCODE RAW (R3D NE) and 32-bit float audio, offering a flexible post-production path while preserving on-set latitude for solo operators and small crews.

Color, exposure, and latitude come together in a single body. The camera leverages RED color science paired with Nikon imaging engineering to deliver a cinematic look with natural tones, smooth gradations, and broad dynamic range. The 6K full-frame sensor records wide scenes with lifelike detail, while Dual Base ISO provides usable performance across a spectrum of lighting conditions—from sunlit exteriors to shadow-rich interiors—without forcing immediate compromises in post.

A built-in monitor you can trust on set

There’s no need for an external monitor. An extra-large 4-inch DCI-P3 touchscreen tilts for framing from low angles or above a crowd, so you can monitor exposure, focus, and color without stepping away from the shot. The display is bright and responsive in varied light, helping you stay in control on set.

• Integrated monitor reduces kit count and on-set clutter.
• Swivel action supports versatile angles and fast composition changes.

Audio as a full partner

32-bit float audio capture preserves headroom for louder signals and subtler ambiances alike. When paired with external microphones, you can record nuanced dialogue and environmental sounds while retaining post-production flexibility for grading and balance.

• High-resolution audio accommodates a range of mic setups.
• Flexible workflow for sound-rich scenes and on-location shoots.

Color space, workflow, and included kit

With REDCODE RAW (R3D NE) support, you access a color space and Log curve aligned with RED cameras, simplifying consistency across gear. The included NIKKOR Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 zoom lens covers wide, mid, and tight shots—from expansive establishing perspectives to intimate close-ups.

Weighing approximately 1.18 pounds, the Nikon RED Z Cinema is designed for rigs, cages, and control grips, making it adaptable to solo operators or small crews. The package includes the camera body and strap, EN-EL15c battery, USB-C charging cable, and the versatile lens, delivering a ready-to-shoot option for projects that demand pro-grade performance in a compact form.
