Video: “DREAMING” 4K | Shot on the Nikon Z6

Vimeo user Marin Marinov uses recently announced Nikon Z6 (B&H Photo/Adorama/Amazon/WEX/Park Camera) to shoot “Dreaming” 4K video. You can watch the full video above. Looks great !

One day a guy came home and gave me a camera. He just said it’s top secret mirrorless full-frame Nikon… so I thought, why not try what’s it capable of 😉
I’ve been shooting Nikons for years, but really wasn’t impressed with video quality. I have a D850 and didn’t even bother to try the video mode…. it’s like the switch for video was cemented (just kidding:)
I’m full time director of photography. I edit a lot of the footage I shoot too, so I’ve got a good idea about the image quality of many cinema cameras like Red and Alexa, but also of the Sony and Panasonic mirrorless.
That secret camera, Nikon Z6, happen to be pretty nice for video. It competes well with it’s sony and pana counterparts with an added bonus – 10bit output from a full frame sensor. I’ve tried a sample camera for a short time, with some firmware bugs and burned out pixels, but it looks really promising. I like the new Nikon!

I used the 24-70 f4.0 in the day. The moonlight sequence was shot with F mount lenses – AF-S 20mm 1.8G and AI 85 f1.4, both wide open, and the camera at 8000ISO. It was really dark for shooting, despite the bright moon.
