CAPTURE TOMORROW
Nikon mirrorless cameras,
The Z mount system is more than a mirrorless camera system. It is Nikon’s answer to the ever-increasing demand for
superior image quality in stills and movies, drawing on over a century of experience in optical manufacturing. The
secret lies in the system’s large lens mount with 55mm inner diameter and short 16mm flange focal distance. The new
designed to deliver new

Z mount brings enormous flexibility to the optical design of lenses — the most critical element in image making. As
a result, the new NIKKOR Z lenses are able to deliver an unprecedented level of definition and depth to your images.
Furthermore, the Z system maintains access to the long-cherished NIKKOR F lens range via an adapter. This slim and
imaging possibilities
compact new system also offers robust, tactile design that inherits Nikon’s proven reliability and operability, allowing
you to capture scenes with confidence, even in harsh environments. Placing equal emphasis on stills and videos,
the Z system is an invitation into a new world of unprecedented sharpness, for everyone with a passion for making
beautiful images.

Designed with a compact body, while providing superior high-sensitivity performance and
outstanding video features, the Z 6 — featuring 24.5 effective megapixels — is ready
to excel in a broad range of shooting scenarios. Taking advantage of the new EXPEED
6 image-processing engine, it achieves a standard sensitivity range of ISO 100-51,200,
reducing noise effectively even at the higher end while maintaining resolution. Continuous
shooting at up to approx. 12 fps is also available. Professional and amateur filmmakers
alike will appreciate the camera’s wide array of movie functions, including full-pixel
readout full-frame 4K UHD, Full HD 100/120p and 10-bit N-Log. The Z 6 offers all this in a
