Nikon ZR

The Compact Cinema Revolution. RED Synergy in Your Hand.

The Nikon ZR is the definitive "compact cinema" camera, representing the first official co-development between Nikon and RED Digital Cinema. Released in October 2025, it bridges the gap between traditional mirrorless bodies and high-end cinema rigs. By integrating RED R3D NE (Nikon Edition) internal RAW recording and RED’s legendary color science into a body roughly the size of a Z6 III, the ZR offers professional filmmakers an ultra-portable, 6K-capable tool that fits into tight spaces, onto drones, or as a powerful B-cam in major productions.

Key Features

• 24.5MP Full-Frame Sensor: Optimized for video with a dual-base ISO of 800 and 6400 for maximum dynamic range and 15+ stops of latitude.

• Internal 6K/60p REDCODE RAW: Captures professional 12-bit R3D NE files directly to a single CFexpress Type B card—eliminating the need for external recorders.

• RED-Curated Color Science: Includes nine "Imaging Recipes" and support for Log3G10 and REDWideGamutRGB for a true cinema look straight out of the camera.

• World's First 32-Bit Float Audio: In-camera recording with Nokia OZO Audio support, ensuring your audio never clips even in unpredictable, loud environments.

• Massive 4.0-inch DCI-P3 Display: This ultra-bright 3.07M-dot touchscreen offers 1,000 nits of brightness for clear monitoring in direct sunlight without a hood.

Technical Breakdown

The ZR is powered by the EXPEED 7 engine, repurposed to handle the massive data throughput of REDCODE RAW (R3D NE). It features an industry-leading 15+ stops of dynamic range, rivaling dedicated cinema cameras twice its size. For autofocus, it utilizes Nikon’s latest deep-learning algorithms, tracking nine subject types (including humans, animals, and vehicles) with precision. It also introduces Nikon Imaging Cloud integration, allowing for near-instant proxy uploads to post-production teams via the NX MobileAir app.
