The Nikon 1 series are high-speed mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras featuring Nikon 1 mount lenses. 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]

At the time of announcement, Nikon claimed that it features the world's fastest autofocus, with 10 fps—even during videos—based on hybrid autofocus (phase detection/contrast-detect AF with AF-assist illuminator), as well as the world's fastest continuous shooting speed (60 fps) among all cameras with interchangeable lenses.^[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.

New technologies[link]

• Nikon CX format with 2.7 times crop factor.^[4] Although the image sensor area of 13.2 x 8.8mm² is about half of the Micro Four Thirds system and a quarter of the Nikon DX format, it delivers a good performance for this small size^[5], comparable to current Four-Thirds sensors like Olympus E-5, Olympus PEN E-P3, Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3^[6] or older DSLRs like Nikon D40.^[7][8]
• CMOS image sensor with integrated 73 phase detection sensors providing hybrid autofocus with both phase detection and 135-point contrast detect AF delivering the currently fastest commercially available autofocus.^[9][10]

• Nikon 1 mount and F-mount adapter FT1 enabling the use of all F-mount lenses especially with integrated autofocus motor. The FT1 adapter mounts and meters with all AI-P, AF, AF-S, D and G lenses and compatibles providing autofocus with all lenses with integrated autofocus motor.^[11] It further mounts Pre-AI, AI, AI-S and E lenses without metering as well as lenses which jut out the F-mount (needing mirror lock-up on cameras with mirror). Also not recommended,^[12] it is used with teleconverters for extreme telephotos.^[13][14]
• Lenses featuring Rear Focusing (RF) system with reduced moving masses and world's fastest extremely quiet Voice Coil motors (VCM) or Stepping (STM) motors to speed-up autofocus.
• 3-Speed silent Power-Drive motor zoom in the Nikkor VR 10-100mm f/4.5-5.6 PD-Zoom optimized for shooting HD movies.^[15]
• Nikon 1 Nikkor VR 10-100mm f/4.5-5.6 PD-Zoom integrates a high amount of technologies: High number of 21 elements including 1 High Refractive Index (HRI, >2), 3 Extra-low Dispersion (ED) and 2 aspherical lenses,^[16] Super Integrated Coating (SIC), internal focusing (IF) with world's fastest quiet Voice Coil motor, 3-speed silent PD-Zoom, Vibration Reduction (VR II), retractable lens mechanism and 7 rounded diaphragm blades.^[17][18] Together with the Canon EF 28-300mm lens it is the only current superzoom with 20 elements or more.
• Fast electronic shutter (1/16 000) or additional electronically controlled mechanical focal-plane shutter.
• Nikon multi accessory port currently used for flash and GPS units as well as AS-N1000 hotshoe adapter with ME-1 stereo microphone mount.
• High-speed dual-core image-processing engine with 600 megapixels per second speed: EXPEED 3.^[19]
• Smart Photo Selector Mode enables selection of the best candidates out of a high-speed sequence.^[20]
• Advanced High-definition video recording allows uninterrupted filming while capturing high-resolution photos.
• Firmware updates of the Nikon 1 lenses are possible.

Other technologies[link]

• As all Nikon DSLRs with CMOS sensor it integrates an active D-Lighting system, automatic correction of lateral chromatic aberration and vignetting.
• Autofocus modes include 3D subject-tracking, 41 points auto-area, manual focus and others.

Optional accessories[link]

Additionally to the already available lenses, flash, cases, GPS unit etc. Nikon presented at PDN PhotoPlus International Conference + Expo 2011 many forthcoming lenses, LED video and macro lights and video kits.^[21]

Reception[link]

Independent reviews^[22][23][24] and image comparisons at all ISO speeds in JPEG^[8] and additionally Raw^[25] are available. Both cameras were criticized for having DSLR-like price.^[26] DxO Labs awarded the J1 sensor an overall score of 56.^[5][7]
