Nikon 1 V2

 

Advanced hybrid AF system

Nikon 1 V2 is equipped with Nikon's original advanced hybrid AF system which automatically selects an appropriate AF system from phase-detection AF or contrast-detect AF according to shooting situations. What's more, the high-speed AF comes into play for capturing fast-moving subjects in clear focus.

 

Live image control

This function enables you to check what the shot is going to look like when you change the settings before you capture the shot.

 

Slow view

Try Nikon 1 V2's original slow view function which captures a series of 40 frames in mere seconds when you press the shutter-release button halfway, and plays them back continuously in slow motion. Now you can capture the most decisive moments easier than ever.

 

Smart Photo Selector helps you catch the very best moments without effort.

Motion Snapshot: a new image expression where still images meet movies.

During Full HD video recording, stills with an aspect ratio of 3:2 can be captured without interrupting recording.

Equipped with a 0.47-in. 1440k-dot high-resolution electronic viewfinder with an approx. 100% frame coverage.

A built-in flash to capture subtle expressions even in a dimly lit environment.

Direct setting with command dial and feature button.

Further improved "EXPEED 3A" high-speed image-processing engine which is designed exclusively for Nikon 1.

14.2 effective megapixels with Nikon CX-format CMOS image sensor.
