Now you can always be one click ahead of the action. The Nikon 1 J1 is designed to be ultra-portable and simple-to-operate, capturing stunning movies and photos in any situation. No matter where you might be or what you might be doing, the Nikon 1 J1 delivers consistently brilliant results.

 

 

 

Drawing on years of advancing its proprietary technologies, Nikon has developed a truly innovative, advanced interchangeable-lens digital camera system that strikes a perfect balance between compact size, high speed, and impeccable image quality.

With Motion Snapshot, you can capture life’s special moments as a still image and as a 1-second movie vignette, which the camera stretches to create a 2.5-second slow motion movie and combines with the still image and a BGM.

 

Nikon 1 is equipped with a “focal plane phase-detection AF” great for fast-moving subjects and a “contrast-detect AF” ideal for poorly lit scenes. The advanced hybrid design automatically selects the ideal AF to capture any scene in crystal-clear focus.

 

 

Don’t you think the best moments in your life deserve to be captured in a unique and special way? With Motion Snapshot, you can capture that special moment as a still image and as a 1-second movie vignette when you press down on the shutter-release button. Then the camera stretches the movie vignette to create a 2.5-second slow motion movie and combines it with the still image and one of the 4 BGMs available. So why not preserve your heartfelt moments as a truly extraordinary short movie.

 

 

 

Taking great photographs has never been easier. When you start to press down on the shutter-release button, the camera, set to the Smart Photo Selector mode, instantly begins recording 20 images at high speed. Then it automatically stores 5 great shots and selects the best one out of the 5. All you have to do is point and shoot. You will never miss another perfect moment ever again.

 

 

 

 

 

Fastest AF x Most Focus Points in the World

From fast action to dark scenes – catch it all with Nikon AF

Some AFs are better at taking certain shots than others. That is why Nikon 1 is equipped with both a “focal plane phase-detection AF” superb for shooting fast action and a “contrast-detect AF” excellent for capturing subtle details in poorly lit areas. Nikon 1’s advanced hybrid AF system intelligently selects the AF that best suits the scene and unfailingly delivers crisp, sharp images. Nikon 1 also boasts a wide coverage of 73 points(*1) (41 focus areas in auto-area AF), which catches the subject with exceptional accuracy, significantly reducing blurry shots.

 

 

You can continuously capture images at approx. 10 fps while the AF constantly tracks the subject and keeps every element in razor-sharp focus. In continuous shooting at 60fps, focus is locked on the position detected in the first frame. With this innovative feature, you can unequivocally capture your once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity. Picture perfect moments are often found in dynamic scenes such as exciting plays from a sporting match or energetic children at play. With the autofocus technology of the Nikon 1 <One>, you can capture, not just one, but a series of spectacular moments with super-crisp, high-quality images.

 

World's fastest continuous shooting: When the operture value is f/5.6 or smaller with the shutter speed 1/60 or fastes (as of september 5, 2011)

With default settings, you can shoot at a high speed of 10fps by pressing down on the shutter-release button all the way. While shooting, the camera will be focused on the subject within the AF area in the center of the screen. Face-priority AF is not available.

You can change the shooting speed to 30fps and 60fps by changing the settings from the shooting menu [Shutter type], [Electronic(Hi)] for V1. [Electronic(Hi)] can be selected from [continuous] for J1.

 

 

 

Drawing on years of advancing its proprietary technologies, Nikon has developed a truly innovative, advanced interchangeable-lens digital camera system that strikes a perfect balance between compact size, high speed, and impeccable image quality. Nikon 1 features a powerful, revolutionary new CX format CMOS sensor, a newly developed Nikon 1 mount, and EXPEED 3, the new high-speed image processing engine specifically designed for the Nikon 1. Together they bring to life state-of-the-art performance in an amazingly small, lightweight body.

 

 

If you could capture minute details of light and shadow in high contrast environment, you would have more opportunities to capture remarkable images without disappointing.
Nikon's Active D-Lighting optimizes the balance of high contrast scenes to restore details often lost under strong lighting, allowing you to capture scenes with optimal results.
Matrix metering settings enable you to adjust the exposure to produce natural results for every situation and every subject. By controlling overexposure and preserving subtle features of underexposed areas, Active D-Lighting will create well-balanced results.

 

 

You cannot only capture your special moments, but you can also transform the look and feel of your images, just as you imagine them. Picture Control is Nikon's unique system that enables you to flexibly control and adjust the image settings to suit your preferences. You can choose from among 6 different settings: Standard, Neutral, Vivid, Monochrome, Portrait, and Landscape. With these settings, you can sharpen an image by emphasizing the silhouette, or create a more vivid image by adjusting the saturation.
With ViewNX 2, you can also fine-tune your images even after they have been shot to match exactly what you envision. With simple settings and operation, Nikon's Picture Control will let you transform your images effortlessly and give you greater creative freedom.

To date, you had to choose between shooting movies or photographs to capture a special moment. With the Nikon 1 <One>, you can now shoot high-resolution still images, while shooting high-quality, full HD movies (1080/60i) simultaneously. The rich power of expression and multiple view angles of the 1 NIKKOR lens allow you to express yourself even more creatively through still images and movies. Even while you are shooting a movie, if you press the shutter-release button, you can capture high-resolution still images without interruption and without changing the mode dial. Whether it is photographs or movies, you no longer have to choose. Both can be yours with the Nikon 1 <One>.

 

Note: The videos shown here were taken using Movie mode, 1080/30p, then converted to Flash Video format for ease of handling. Image quality varies from the original.

 

By controlling the lapse of time, we have discovered a way to expose new fragments in time. With the Slow Motion Movie function of the Nikon 1 <One>, you can delay the lapse of time in your scene, revealing layers of fun and excitement that were previously undetectable by the naked eye. For example, using the Slow Motion Movie function at 400fps you can capture each flap of a bird's wings and at 1,200fps you can capture every spark of a fireworks display. With this camera's Slow Motion Movie, you can make new discoveries everywhere you look.

 

 

You may have never used some of the buttons or dial modes on your camera. Nikon 1 <One> represents the pinnacle of usability. We have intuitively simplified the functions on the mode dial. It is selectable only from four main functions: Still image mode, Movie mode, Motion Snapshot mode, and Smart Photo Selector mode. The only buttons you will find on the top of the camera are the power switch, shutter-release button, and movie-record button so you will have an amazing range of functions at your fingertips with extremely simple operability. Set free from technicalities and complicated operation, you can capture the desired image faster and more unfailingly.

Are functions that should be helping you to capture beautiful images actually disturbing you from taking a desired picture?
Most of the functions Nikon 1 <One> is equipped with are automatic, freeing you from complicated operations so that you can focus on taking the shot. In the Scene Auto Selector mode, you don't need an elaborate set-up, nor do you need to be camera savvy. When you are taking a photograph of a person, the camera will automatically select the "Portrait" mode. When shooting at dusk or at night, it will switch to the "Night Portrait" mode. When shooting the cityscape or scenery, it will select the "Landscape" mode. And, it will choose the "Close-up" mode when shooting something very close up. The camera will detect the subject and the setting and automatically select the optimal mode for your convenience. All you have to do is find something or someone you want to shoot and press the shutter-release button.

 

 

Nikon 1 J1 comes with an i-TTL built-in flash (Guide Number: approx. 5 [ISO 100*m]).
With the slow-sync mode, you can capture both the beautifully lit nightscape and the subject at optimal exposure levels.

 

 

When shooting with the electronic shutter, you can change the settings to turn off the electronic sounds of the shutter, AF,and self-timer. Now you can shoot in stage theaters and other quiet settings without making a sound.
