Nikon 1: An intelligent and ultra-portable camera system. Boasts a dedicated range of compact 1 NIKKOR interchangeable lenses. Crafted to bring new levels of speed, simplicity and enjoyment to the way you capture your world. CX-format CMOS image sensor: delivers the performance you need for stunning photos and movies. Offers the ideal balance between system size, speed, light sensitivity, resolution and depth-of-field. Enables beautifully detailed 10.1 megapixel images of even fast-moving subjects in any light. Super high-speed autofocus system: focuses so fast you can capture moments without delay. Boasts an amazing number of focus points for consistently sharp results. Instantly switches between Phase-Detection AF for shiny or moving subjects, and Contrast Detect AF if your subject is stationary, or poorly lit. EXPEED 3 image processor: engineered to deliver unparalleled levels of speed and performance in any situation. Equipped with two powerful engines that can process images at an incredible 600 megapixels a second. Offers superior noise reduction and enables the camera’s groundbreaking shooting modes. Blazingly fast continuous shot: delivers full-resolution images at up to 60 frames per second, so practically no movement is too fast to capture.  When you want to focus tightly on one subject – say a child or pet - the camera can track them and capture full-resolution images at 10 fps*3. Motion Snapshot: brings your stills to life in a click. Harnesses the camera’s processing speed to simultaneously record a slow motion movie and a still image. As soon as you’ve taken your shot it instantly combines the two to create a ‘living image’ and capture a moment in time as never before. Smart Photo Selector: always gets the best shot. Shoots 20 high-resolution images before and after you release the shutter, then saves your ‘best’ five for you to choose from. Images are recommended based on facial expression, composition and focus. Advanced movie recording: lets you take a full-resolution*1 photo while filming, without interrupting recording, and you can film in extreme slow motion for dramatic effect. Movies can be recorded in full HD and the Phase-detection autofocus system makes it easy to capture great action scenes. Striking, minimalist camera design at its best: boasts a strong yet lightweight body available in a range of colors. Packs a 7.5 cm (3-in.), 460k-dot LCD monitor with wide viewing angle and protective glass. Intuitive operation: with clear menus, a minimum number of buttons, a built-in flash and an easy-to-reach mode dial for quick access to shooting modes. When you don’t want to think about a thing, you can shoot in auto mode and let scene auto selector choose the best camera settings for you. Built-in flash: offers extra light when you need it. Handy for indoor shots or to soften images when the sun is behind your subject. Designed alongside the camera, it offers perfectly exposed results. Expandable system: the family of 1 NIKKOR interchangeable lenses cover practically every type of scene, are all optimized for movie recording and boast a compact design for superior portability. Mount Adapter FT1: attaches to the camera’s 1-mount to let you use any NIKKOR SLR lens. Trying out different lenses is a great way to experiment with how you shoot a scene, and if you use AF-S and AF-I NIKKOR lenses you can still make full use of the incredible Nikon 1 autofocus system*2. Nikon 1 Short Movie Creator: automatically creates short films from your photos and movies. Incredibly easy-to-use, it preserves the quality of every photo or frame of footage you shoot. Movies can be up to 30 minutes long and there is a range of styles to choose from.
