(SPS) captures the perfect moment in any scene. Still image mode will
make you a master of movement as you switch to shooting sharp shots of
the action at up to 60 frames per second2 . Movie mode opens

always capture superb high-resolution stills and movies.
All-new image sensor with the fastest autofocus in the world
Whether you want to shoot fast movement, slow movement or
no movement, Nikon's all-new CX-format CMOS image sensor ensures you'll
always capture superb high-resolution stills and movies. Developed to
offer the ideal balance between speed, light sensitivity, resolution and
depth-of-field, you can shoot clearer action shots, better images in
low light, and easily soften backgrounds to make your subject stand out
more. Equipped with a revolutionary super high-speed autofocus (AF)
system that boasts the most focus points in the world3, your
subject will always be in focus. If you're shooting shiny or moving
subjects, the sensor will switch to Phase-Detection AF. If your subject
is stationary, or poorly lit, it will opt for Contrast Detect AF. And

EXPEED 3: Fast just got faster

be as fast as a Nikon 1 camera is, you need an engine that can handle
speed. EXPEED 3 is a super-fast 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, it enables a host of innovative

Motion Snapshot: Bring your stills to life in a click
Every
photo is unique, but not many come to life right in front of your eyes.
A fantastic way to capture a moment in time as never before, Nikon's
unique Motion Snapshot (MSS) makes your photos come alive. Easily
accessed via the mode dial, it all happens in just one click. Using its
ability to capture images before you fully press the shutter button, the
camera simultaneously records a one-second 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'. From the way someone might toss their
head before they smile, or someone else might leave the frame before you
click, fleeting movements and emotions are captured in a snap. A whole
new experience, a Motion Snapshot keeps the story of a moment alive in a
way that will delight and amaze you every time you look at it.
The
camera recommends shots based on factors such as facial expression,
composition and focus so you'll never again miss a smiling face,
accidentally cut off someone's head or end up with a blurred image.
Smart Photo Selector: One shot — five great images to choose from
The
most amazing things can happen at any moment, and thanks to Nikon's
groundbreaking Smart Photo Selector (SPS) you'll always capture the
moment you want. Harnessing the camera's pre and post capture
technology, Smart Photo Selector flies into action as soon as you press
the shutter button. It begins to capture images before you even take the
shot, and continues after you're done, ultimately shooting up to 20
high-resolution images in quick succession. The best shot is instantly
displayed on the monitor, and four more are saved for you to choose
from. The camera recommends shots based on factors such as facial
expression, composition and focus so you'll never again miss a smiling
face, accidentally cut off someone's head or end up with a blurred
image.

subject you've chosen and still capture full-resolution images at 10
frames per second. Whether you want to capture kids or pets as they dash
about having fun, or your friends as they whizz about the city on
bikes, a Nikon 1 camera will bring a new dimension of speed to every
scene you shoot.
