The Nikon 1 series are high-speed mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras. Announced on 21 September 2011, Nikon claims that it is "Nikon's most significant announcement since we introduced our first digital camera 14 years ago".[1] The series currently includes Nikon 1 J1 and Nikon 1 V1.[2]

High-speed is characteristic: At the time of announcement it features world's fastest autofocus with 10 fps even during videos based on hybrid autofocus (phase detection/contrast-detect AF with AF-assist illuminator). World's fastest continuous shooting speed (60 fps) among all cameras with interchangeable lenses including DSLRs completes this.[3] Slow-motion movies can be captured in up to 1200 fps with reduced resolution.

The smaller CX sensor considerably increases the depth of field by 2.90 stops (2.7 times crop factor) compared to an 35mm FX camera with the same angle of view.

Other Technologies

  • As all Nikon DSLRs with CMOS sensor it integrates an active D-Lighting system, automatic correction of lateral chromatic aberration and vignetting.

Reception
