Create and achieve results without limits

All this expertise and planning is possible when the camera you’re using can adapt to any unforeseen circumstances. Be prepared to withstand any extreme. With a new AF system, EXPEED 6 image processing, a rugged body and fast in-camera connections, this DSLR lets you create flawless images anywhere. You can’t control the action, the lighting or the environment. But you can control the D6.

Reliable and efficient focusing

How to cover the entire frame? A dedicated AF system that's faster than ever before. 105 selectable cross-type sensors are arranged to cover an area 1.6x denser than the D5. Area Group AF is also available with more custom settings for exceptionally precise tracking. An improved Scene Recognition system delivers a higher level of subject detection. With the D6, you have more options than ever before to anticipate and capture the action.

Capture the winning shot

A wider range of selectable area group AF patterns allows you to optimize AF settings for any shooting task. Avoid stationary obstacles like tennis nets in the direct line of sight and capture sharper action shots.

Prioritize your eyes

The D6 is the first DSLR to offer the ability to focus on a subject's eyes first when using auto-area AF or 3D-tracking. And because the coverage is also wider and denser, you can capture that focused look on an athlete.

Anticipate the action

With the D6, you can set the initial focus point when shooting with auto-area AF. Information from all 105 focus points is used to detect and track your subject, so you can focus on composing.

Achieve better results in any lighting conditions

Subjects are tracked with remarkable precision even in the most challenging lighting conditions. AF sensitivity is reduced to -4.5 EV for the center focus point and -4 EV for all other points, allowing you to track action even in low light.

EXTREME ACCURACY AND SPEED

When the action is fast and you only have one chance to get the shot, the D6 can shoot continuously at up to 14 fps and take full advantage of AF/AE. The camera's mirror mechanism has been redesigned to significantly reduce the chance of ghosting, resulting in a sharper, more stable image in the viewfinder.

SILENT AND EFFICIENT

With silent shooting mode and AE tracking, you can shoot full-resolution images at up to 10.5 fps. Silent time-lapse movie recording and interval timer photography are also possible: images are captured using an electronic shutter, preventing wear on the mechanical shutter.

HIGH SPEED CAPTURE

Want to show movies in movies? In Movie Live View mode, the D6 can capture 8MP bursts of stills at 30fps and 2MP bursts of stills at 60fps. Both frame rate settings allow full AE tracking.

The beginning of everything - a great shot

When you’re working under tight deadlines, the quality of the files you get straight from the camera is crucial. The D6 captures exceptionally clear images, while a new auto white balance algorithm ensures highly realistic color reproduction and clearer skin tones. The dynamic range is exceptional at both high and low ISO settings. Whether you’re working in a stadium or on a mountainside, you’re sure to get the shot you want.

Real-time preview

Follow the action in real time, even when shooting at high frame rates and using a long lens. The 0.72x optical viewfinder with OLED elements allows you to confirm your subject immediately and with high precision.

Forward or side tilt indications are displayed in the viewfinder.

Restoring settings

When you can adapt quickly and seamlessly to any situation, unpredictable circumstances are no obstacle. Pre-programmed recallable settings now include white balance, AF patterns, and AF lock-on settings.

Universal card slots

You can simultaneously record JPEG+ and JPEG images to the dual slots, which accept CFexpress or XQD cards. Easily assign small to medium-sized JPEG files to the secondary card slot, which is designed for faster image transfer.

Faster migration, simpler workflow

The D6 was designed with feedback from photographers in mind, so it's easy and fast to send images instantly. With fast Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity built into the camera, you can transfer your best images. Instantly. Plus, with the crisp, clear touchscreen, you can check, select and prioritize key shots. Image transfer speeds are the fastest in this category and don't slow down as you shoot.

SELECT, CHECK, MOVE

When every second counts and you have more options for selecting which images to transfer, you can achieve better results. Use the primary card slot to check focus on a larger JPEG+ image, then switch to the secondary card slot to quickly transfer small to medium-sized JPEGs. Unwanted images can be deleted from both slots at the same time.

FILTER IMAGES

Copyright information, ratings, and voice memos can be recorded and applied to images by simply swiping up or down. When sorting images, you can delete them and their voice memos, or just the voice memos. When playing back images, you can filter files by protection level, rating, and transfer status.

PRIORITIZE THE BEST FRAME

When transferring images to a computer via a wired LAN or the camera's Wi-Fi connection, send the best shots first. During playback, you can prioritize specific images with a flick motion or by using the Fn button.

BLUETOOTH

Upload images to social media right on the spot. When the camera is connected via Bluetooth, it can be used to transfer images to a smart device using the included SnapBridge app. The smart device can also be used as a simple remote control.

WI-FI

Connect the camera to your computer using its built-in Wi-Fi. You can also connect it to a wireless network up to 200 m away using the compatible WT-6 Wireless Transmitter. The WT-6 Wireless Transmitter is compatible with IEEE802.11ac wireless LAN and can be used as a remote receiver in HTTP mode.

THE MOST SPEED AMONG CAMERAS IN THIS CATEGORY

Connect a network cable to the camera and transfer images directly to a computer or FTP server at lightning speed. The camera's wired LAN is compatible with the 1000BASE-T standard, providing approximately 15% faster connections than the acclaimed D5.

Adapt to any location

Higher resolution screens provide better visibility and easier reading, while ergonomic improvements mean more space and essential ports are always within easy reach, even when shooting with a wireless transmitter attached.

The D6 also comes with reliable Kensington security slots, so you can protect your cameras when working with a multi-device system.

Try it in any conditions

Whether you're working in extreme temperatures and humidity, or bumping your camera against a telephoto lens while carrying equipment, the D6's body remains as tough as the D5, which is why it's so beloved by professionals. When you're shooting in a situation where there are other concerns than the camera, you can forget about it.
