Nikon 1 is equipped with both a "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 sharp images with high-speed and high-accuracy. Nikon 1 also boasts a wide coverage of 73 focus areas (41 focus areas in auto-area AF), which can track even a fast-moving subject and quickly capture it in focus.
By half pressing the shutter, the camera starts shooting automatically. It temporarily records 20 pictures right before and after the shutter timing. With this function, it's no longer possible to miss the definitive moment.
Smart Photo Selector compares the 20 continuous images and chooses 1 best shot and 4 reserve shots to be saved. It automatically deletes the images that have out-of-frame figures, blinking eyes, or ones that are blurred, giving priority to save the better pictures.
With Motion Snapshot, you can enjoy the live dynamism and reality of a movie in addition to the beauty of the moment that still pictures offer. You can also select a tune from 4 different types of music available, all to cherish the emotion of that moment with great vividness. By simply pressing the shutter, Motion Snapshot will allow you to record 1 second of movie along with a still picture. When played, the movie is shown in slow motion at 2.5 seconds while the still picture is played continuously.
Play the pictures taken with Motion Snapshot continuously, and the experience will be like watching an original movie. The 2.5 second slow motion movie will remind you of that moment vividly, while the continuous play will let you enjoy the story unfold with brisk rhythm. Enjoy the new type of viewing experience that brings back your memory with amazing reality without the hassle of a complex edit work.

You can also capture high-resolution still images (3840 x 2160, aspect ratio 16:9) beautiful down to every detail by pressing the shutter-release button even while shooting a movie without interruption, all the while tracking the subject with autofocus. The shutter sound will not be produced so as not to disturb the recording of the movie. Whether it's still images or movies, you no longer have to choose. Both can be yours with the small, yet versatile Nikon 1.
Nikon 1 J2 has a surprisingly compact and lightweight body for an interchangeable-lens digital camera with built-in flash, in which the high-quality imaging technology and a myriad of other advanced functions are condensed into.

The marks on the large dial have been carved on the aluminum for a refined touch of the texture.

Even if a camera is compact, wouldn't it be a pain to carry big and heavy lenses? By employing super high-speed AF CMOS image sensor in CX format, and 1 Mount, a new mount specifically designed for Nikon 1, we have brought to life high image quality in an exceptionally small, lightweight body. Nikon 1 also comes embedded with a high-speed image processing engine, EXPEED 3, that realizes high-speed performance. In Nikon 1, you will find all the qualities you want from a camera in perfect balance.
Mount Adapter FT1 has been especially designed so that the extensive lineup of NIKKOR lenses may be used with Nikon 1. Mount Adapter FT1 keeps the F values of your existing F mount NIKKOR lenses in tact while also delivering the same brightness. Because you can have an angle of view equivalent to the focal length that is approx. 2.7 times that of the F mount NIKKOR lenses, you can use standard lenses as telephoto lenses and telephoto lenses as super-telephoto lenses to get closer to the action. The Mount Adapter FT1 also supports auto exposure/autofocus and vibration reduction
