Nikon D6 FX-Format Digital SLR Camera Body

The new Nikon D6 has speed, performance, reliability, and precision as its primary focus as it caters to the needs of sports photographers and photojournalists. Its 20.8 MP FX-format sensor and an EXPEED 6 image processor combines high sensitivity, nuanced image quality, and quick performance all in one package. The D6 also offers a native ISO range of ISO 100-102400 that can be expanded to up to 50-3280000, allowing photographers to shoot even under so photographers can work in different lighting conditions. Its EXPEED 6 processor lets creatives capture more photos at an excellent continuous shooting rate of 14 fps. Along with its sensor-processor combination, the D6 features a Multi-CAM 37K autofocus system, the most powerful AF system in Nikon’s history. Multi-CAM 37K achieves fast and precise focus across the frame regardless of the lighting condition. Users can also capture high-quality video on the D6 as it can record UHD 4K video at 30, 25, and 24 fps and Full HD/HD video. The camera has a weather-sealed magnesium alloy construction for added durability. Shoot breathtaking photos and videos using the new Nikon D6 FX.

Decisive power. Faster workflow. Absolute reliability.

Like every Nikon flagship camera that has come before it, the D6 holds nothing back. Featuring Nikon's most powerful AF system to date for capturing every heart-pounding, pivotal moment, the D6 is an uncompromising workhorse that lives up to every professional demand in any environment. And because every second counts in the field, the D6 is loaded with new time-saving workflow enhancements and advanced customization options. The moments that define us, that show what we’re capable of, the ones that live on, are waiting to be captured with a Nikon D6 DSLR.

The most powerful AF in Nikon's history.

The D6 breaks new ground in AF performance, outclassing the highly acclaimed AF system of its predecessor, the D5. A new high density, 105-point fully selectable, all cross-type sensor AF system, allows photographers to set focus almost anywhere in the frame without recomposing. A reimagined focus point layout reduces non-AF-sensitive areas with a triple sensor arrangement for each individual focus point resulting in 1.6x more AF coverage*, even with moving subjects in high speed shooting modes.

Precision focusing with 17 custom Group Area AF choices.

For reliable subject acquisition around distracting foreground objects like a net, player or other obstacle, sports photographers will find the D6's 17 selectable group Area AF patterns indispensable.

Image quality that shines in any light.

The stellar combination of the D6's high-resolution 20.8MP FX-format CMOS sensor and state-of-the-art EXPEED 6 image-processing engine enables class-leading ISO's up to 102,400 (expandable to ISO 3,280,000) for glorious image quality in the widest range of lighting conditions and shooting scenarios. The profound levels of sensitivity and resolution achieved by the D6 greatly reduce low light noise and improve AF detection over the D5.

Turbo-charged by EXPEED 6.

The D6 is powered by Nikon’s fastest, most comprehensive image processing engine to date, EXPEED 6. It’s the brains behind the camera’s stunning photo and video quality, AF power, low-light performance, noise suppression, distortion control, image clarity, color reproduction and more.

Fast and reliable 14 fps continuous shooting.

For capturing the most electrifying of moments during high speed sports and action, the D6 can shoot a remarkable 14 fps for up to 200 continuous shots at JPEG fine quality*. Its beautifully clear optical viewfinder allows real-time confirmation of the composition while its highly dependable mechanical shutter eliminates any concern of banding or flickering at high speeds—crucial under professional environments where every moment matters.

*When using E-type lenses, in CH mode and at shutter speed 1/250 second or faster.

Astounding 60 fps stills in video mode.

While the D6's remarkable 14 fps speed may be more than enough for most action photography, the D6 is capable of shooting at an astonishing 60fps for digital applications where resolution may not be as critical. In movie live view mode, holding the shutter-release down can produce 2-megapixel images at approximately 60fps* or 8-megapixel images at approximately 30fps** for revealing minute differences during critical moments of action.

*With Full HD selected for image quality.
**With 4K UHD selected for image quality.
Note: AF is locked on the first frame while AE tracks in this mode.

Silent when discretion counts.

When camera noise can be a potential distraction, switching to Live View allows you to get every shot utilizing the D6's full 20.8MP at up to 10.5fps in complete silence.*

*AF is locked on the first frame while AE tracks. Rolling shutter distortion may occur.

Advanced scene recognition for intelligent exposure.

Working in harmony with the D6’s dedicated AF and EXPEED 6 image-processing engines, a 180K-pixel Advanced Scene Recognition System identifies various aspects of the scene and makes fine adjustments to ensure complete accuracy in auto exposure, autofocus, auto white balance and more.

The most well-connected Nikon flagship camera ever.

Transfer photos and videos, even RAW images, wirelessly to a smart device via the SnapBridge app over the D6's built-in Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth. Wired LAN supports the highly acclaimed 1000BASE-T standard with 15% faster transfer speeds than the D5. In the studio, wireless LAN connections can be obtained with either the built-in dual band 2.4/5 GHz transmitter or with the faster, more reliable WT-6A/B/C Wireless Transmitter (optional).
