Nikon Z6III + 24 - 120 f4 6K50 RAW with Red Pipeline

Another Nikon Z6 III N-RAW test — a calm walk along the River Stour with our puppy Walter on his very first outing.
Filmed handheld in 6K 50p N-RAW with the Nikkor Z 24-120 mm f/4 S, color-graded in DaVinci Resolve using the .NEV → .R3D trick to unlock the full RED RAW panel and fine-tune exposure and color.

The light was flat and overcast — perfect for testing tonal latitude and shadow detail.
I don’t really follow the 180-degree shutter rule… life’s too short 😆
Still, the Z6 III + 24-120 f/4 combo handled motion and color beautifully, with smooth autofocus and plenty of natural contrast.

📍 Location: River Stour, Dorset, UK
🎬 Settings: 6K50 N-RAW | f/4 | ISO 400 | Various shutter speeds (because rules are overrated)
🎥 Ideal for: real-world Nikon footage, handheld tests, cinematic pet videos, and everyday shooting conditions.
