Nikon Australia has posted up a short film called The Climber that was shot on the new Nikon ZR.
Eyre Films mounted the ZR on drones, under vehicles, and inside cliff faces, to test the camera out in tough conditions in low-light environments.
If you are not familiar with the Nikon ZR, it is the company’s first digital cinema camera. The new Nikon ZR can record up to 6K/60p (59.94p) and incorporates the new R3D NE RAW video file format with RED color science based on RED’s popular R3D RAW codec. It is also stated to have 15+ stops of dynamic range.
Just like the competing Canon EOS C50 and Sony FX3A, the NIKON ZR doesn’t have built-in ND filters, SDI, or an EVF.
The ZR is being touted as an ultra-lightweight, full-frame camera that blends the best technologies and philosophies that NIKON and RED both offer. NIKON states that this is aimed as an entry-level digital cinema camera designed for emerging cinematographers and high-end content producers.
