Nikon ZR + NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4.0 PZ

The Nikon ZR is aimed at filmmakers and creators who are often on the move: It is the lightest all-in-one cinema camera on the market. 1 Whether short clips or the next indie film - look forward to cinematic shots without a lot of accessories.

6K full-frame sensor
Up to 6K/60p recordings directly in the camera: from cinematic 24p to extreme slow motion at 240p. From detailed 6K resolution to razor-sharp, compact 1080p resolution. Flexible frame rates and resolutions make any project possible.

Proven RED-colour science
An exclusive R3D NE codec from RED enables immense freedom in post-production, as ZR video material (R3D NE) and R3D video material recorded by RED cameras can be processed in the same post-production workflow
.

4-Inch, tiltable and rotatable touchscreen monitor
The large, 1000 nits bright monitor covers the DCI-P3 color space and has a generous 16:10 display format. Monitor 3D LUT display (Look Up Table) for RED Gamma (Log3G10): Through the use of monitor LUTs, the monitor display shows a precise preview of the result after post-production.

Dual-base ISO of 800/6400
when shooting in Log3G10. The sensor's wide dynamic range of 15+ f-stops is maintained at both base ISO settings.

In-camera 32-bit float audio recording
Enables free audio recording and level adjustment in post-production without clipping.

Cinematic video modes and custom RED Picture Controls
4 creative video modes and 9 custom RED Picture Control configurations provide a cinematic look + feel straight out of the camera.

Fast, intelligent autofocus
The fast, accurate, reliable and customizable autofocus ensures razor-sharp images.
Integrated image stabilization: Nikon's image stabilizer with sensor shift ensures blur-free images in five axes.

Lightweight and robust

The NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ - A milestone for videographers
Today we are pleased to introduce the first full-frame Z lens designed specifically for video and aimed particularly at small production teams and solo filmmakers.

The new NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ is predestined for high-resolution 8K video footage straight out of the camera and is light enough for handheld filming. An exceptional lens that is a milestone for videographers using Nikon Z full-frame cameras such as the Z9 and Z8.

With servo zoom control and a weight of only 1210g (including tripod adapter ring), it is a compact, well-balanced and reliable video lens suitable for gimbal or handheld filming, especially for videographers who want to work with minimal equipment.

The video-specific optical design is ideal for high-resolution 8K video footage, offering plenty of flexibility when cropping in post-production and outputting in 4K. Nikon's high-performance glass and optical coatings ensure remarkably clear shots from any distance - even in bright sunlight or in the studio.

A yellow ring indicates that this power zoom is a Z-bayonet video Lens that is compatible with a wide range of professional video accessories, such as matte boxes and follow focus systems.

Key features for videographers include Ease-in/Ease-out (eliminating the need for an external motorized zoom) and 11 different zoom speeds that can be assigned to the zoom switch on the Lens. Position recording and recall make it possible to recompose between shots, linear manual focusing ensures accurate, repeatable results and the direction of the focus and zoom rings can be reversed. Remote control of the Lens is also possible and it is sealed against dust and moisture.

Dirk Jasper, Product Manager, Nikon Europe says: "We are committed to making the Z-System an optimal solution for content creators at all levels. Nikon's first professional video Lens for Z-mount cameras is an exciting step forward. This is a video lens you can rely on for optimal results when time, budget or other constraints prevent reshoots."
