The Nikon Z 6 is a mirrorless system camera housing from the Japanese manufacturer Nikon with a Z bayonet , which was presented at a press conference on August 23, 2018.
technical features
With the Z 6 and Z 7 models, the new Z series initially comprises two mirrorless system cameras with full-format sensors . Both cameras use a back-illuminated chip (Back Side Illumination, BSI technology) without a low-pass filter .
The inside diameter of the Nikon Z bayonet is 55 millimeters and at the time of the announcement it was the full-frame bayonet with the largest inside diameter. The larger opening means that more light can be directed onto the image sensor through the new Z lenses . A corresponding lens 0.95 / 58 mm was announced for 2019, which will be one of the brightest lenses on the market.
The Z 6 has 273 focus areas . A five-axis image stabilizer (VR) is integrated into the weatherproof camera housing.
At the same time as the Z 6 and Z 7 camera models, Nikon initially presented three new lenses for the Z-mount: a 35 mm f / 1.8, a 50 mm f / 1.8 and a zoom 24–70 mm f / 4. The new Z-Mount is the first new development of a lens connection for 35 mm cameras from Nikon since 1959. To ensure that the wide range of lenses from many manufacturers with the F-Mount can be used, Nikon has provided the Z models with an adapter from F- set aside on Z-mount, with which, with a few exceptions, all Nikon F lenses since 1959 can be connected to the cameras of the Z series. Modern AF-S, AF-P and AF-I Nikkor lenses can be used with this adapter on the Z 6 without restrictions. Older AF-D Nikkor lenses without their own AF motor can use all other functions except for the autofocus, such as B. Focus peaking in the viewfinder, VR, exposure control and all exposure modes. With even older AF (without D-Chip), AI or AI-S Nikkor lenses, the number of exposure modes that can be used may be limited.
production
The Z 6 is manufactured at the Nikon factory in Sendai , Japan . According to Nikon's plans, 20,000 Z 6 and Z 7 are to be produced there every month.
Awards
The Photo Press Association Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) honored the model Z 6 as the best camera with full-frame sensor for experts with the TIPA World Award 2019 .
