Compact camera. Cinematic display.
You won’t need to bring an external monitor when the ZR is your creative partner. The lightest all-in-one cinema camera around also boasts the biggest, brightest Vari-angle monitor for a super-clear view of the scene.
True colour. Full visibility.
The large, bright, 4-inch touchscreen monitor covers the DCI-P3 colour gamut and boasts a generous 16:10 display format. You’ll be able to accurately monitor colours while viewing full-size widescreen (16:9) footage—and vertical video is supported too.

In-camera LUTs to monitor colour as you shoot
Shooting in RAW or a log format? You can load up to ten 3D LUTs, including 65-point LUTs, for viewing on the ZR monitor. You’ll see the impact of exposure or lighting choices on the colours you’re going for, while the footage itself stays clean for maximum flexibility in post.

In-camera 32-bit float audio recording
In a world first, the ZR lets you capture 32-bit audio using the camera’s internal mics, or a compatible external mic. The dynamic range is so vast, you won’t need to constantly monitor the levels when filming: you can adjust them in post without clipping.
OZO Audio technology
With three built-in MEMS microphones, the ZR lets you record sound without an external mic. There’s five pick-up patterns to choose from.
In-body VR for steady handheld footage
No need to take a gimbal. Nikon’s powerful in-camera 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilisation compensates for camera shake to keep handheld footage steady. Great for dynamic run-and-gun video shoots where spontaneity is key.
Precision AF keeps your shots on point
With Nikon’s fast, intelligent AF system keeping every shot in focus, you can give free reign to your creativity.
Fast
Quick, accurate, reliable, and customisable autofocus. For the sharpest, smoothest shots.
Intelligent
The ZR can detect and track nine different subject types. Faces are in focus, eyes are sharp.
Smooth
No focus puller, no problem. Selectable AF speeds let you create smooth, repeatable focus transitions.
Wide
With custom wide-area AF, you can tell the ZR in which part of the frame to track focus. It won’t blink.
Focus-breathing compensation
Want to rack focus? Turn on focus-breathing compensation and you’ll attain smoother, more natural-looking transitions. Super helpful if you’re shooting dynamic scenes, where consistent framing matters.
No noisy fans. No heat-related shutdowns.
With an innovative body design that efficiently dissipates heat, the ZR will quietly hold its own on a long shoot. You can record video up to 4K/60p for up to 125 minutes straight when running off continuous power, and for up to 95 minutes when running on battery power.1
