Nikon 1 J1 Black Digital Camera with 10-30mm Lens
The Nikon 1 J1 Digital Camera with 10-30mm VR Zoom Lens (Black) is a compact and easily portable digital camera with a 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 VR Zoom Lens. The mirror less design allows the camera to be extra small and lightweight, while still retaining all of the finest qualities of a mirrored model. Featuring a CX-Format High-Speed AF CMOS Sensor and an EXPEED 3 dual image processor, this small device packs some punch. The sensor allows great photos even in low light, while the EXPEED 3 enables advanced system performance, high-speed processing, advanced phase detection auto focus and high-speed data transfer rates.
A streamlined design and lack of a grip means the best way to hold the camera is to grip the corners between thumb and forefinger, which is the norm for many compact cameras. Operation is pretty simple although consumers should at least look through the user manual to be aware of what lies beneath the options on the mode dial: Motion Snapshot, Smart Photo Selector, Still Image, and Movie. The occasional tip or hint will appear on the LCD suggesting a trip to the F (function) button for mode-specific options.
The Nikon J1 control layout is designed for simplicity but the camera is well stocked with features, including manual and semi manual exposure controls, raw capture, and full HD video. In addition to a full complement of video controls, the Nikon J1 offers a few non-standard movie options. Although not unique to the J1, users can shoot slow motion video at frame rates of 400 or 1200, and the camera is great for taking slow motion clips of action like a dog shaking off water or a sports scene. The files are physically small and low resolution, but they’re fun to watch and great for posting on the Web. Perhaps one of the most interesting, and potentially useful, functions is being able to shoot stills while simultaneously shooting video without any breaks in video.
The Nikon J1 comes with a 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 VR Zoom Lens, featuring up to 3x magnification and a silent stepping AF motor (STM). The lens has image stabilization (VR II) to combat the effects of camera shake. The angle of view ranges from 29° 40" to 77°. The lens's minimum focus distance is 0.66' (0.2m), and the filter size is 40.5mm. The 10-30mm is a versatile lens for applications ranging from wide-angle to tight portrait shots, and applies 3 aspherical lens elements to guarantee high image quality, even at the widest aperture settings. The 10-30mm zoom range enables outstanding capture of fine detail, even in far-away shots. Internal focusing / IF technology enables more compact, lightweight construction, as well as a closer focusing distance. A multi-layer lens coating helps reduce ghost and flare to a negligible level. The Nikon J1 camera has an interchangeable lens system, allowing you to select from 3 optional 1 NIKKOR lenses in addition to the included one. There's even a lens designed specifically for movie filming. Swapping lenses is quick and easy, enabling you to stay at-the-ready at all times. Aside from the 10-30 mm focal length of the included lens, you may choose a single focal length of 10 mm or a 30-110mm telephoto. Enjoy one-touch Full HD (1080p) movie record mode and the capability to capture still images while recording! Add a slow-motion effect to make your imaging more dramatic. Experience the Motion Snapshot One-Touch Photo Animation Experience to bring your photos to life. This feature essentially creates a picture slideshow where there would otherwise be merely a single image. Thanks to Smart Photo Selector, the Nikon J1 chooses the best of the images you've taken, so all you have to focus on is getting the shot you want. Let the camera do the work for you while you do what you love and stay in the moment. Enjoy easy access to advanced features with a menu that is easy to follow, no matter how much photography experience you've had.
