This 4K Short Film Shows the Low-Light Abilities of the Nikon Z6
While Nikon’s new Z7 full-frame mirrorless camera is the Z Series flagship, the cheaper Z6 is designed to be a low-light powerhouse. Bulgarian filmmaker and photographer Marin Marinov got to test a pre-production Nikon Z6, and he ended up shooting this 1-minute short film titled “Dreaming.”
The night shots were captured in N-log with the Atomos Ninja Inferno while the daytime shots were captured internally in Nikon’s flat profile.
Moonlight shots were captured with Nikon’s 20mm f/1.8G and 85mm f/1.4 F-mount lenses, both wide open with the camera at ISO 8000.
“It was really dark for shooting, despite the bright moon,” Marinov says. His film is a beautiful early look at what the Z6 can do in low-light environments illuminated only by moonlight and fire.
The Nikon Z6 will be available in late November 2018 with a price tag of $1,996. You can find more of Marinov’s work on his Vimeo and Instagram.
