The Nikon 1 series is a line of mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras from Nikon, originally announced on 21 September 2011.[1] The cameras utilized Nikon 1-mount lenses, and featured 1" CX format sensors. The FT-1 adapter was available, which allowed Nikon 1 users to mount nearly all Nikon F-mount lenses, with significant limitations on non-autofocus lenses and autofocus lenses without an internal focusing motor.

When it was announced in 2011, Nikon released:[2][3]

  • the first two cameras (the J1 and V1)
  • the first four lenses (the 1 NIKKOR VR 10-30mm Template:F/, 1 NIKKOR VR 30-110mm Template:F/, 1 NIKKOR 10mm Template:F/ and 1 NIKKOR VR 10-100mm Template:F/ PD-ZOOM)
  • a lens adapter (the FT-1 converter)
  • a flash unit (the SB-N5 Speedlight flash).

Nikon discontinued the Nikon 1 series in July 2018[4] and launched the mirrorless ℤ-series cameras later that year, using full-frame sensors and a new Nikon Z-mount line of lenses.

The series included the Nikon 1 V1, J1, J2,[5] and S1 with a 10-megapixel image sensor, the V2, J3, S2 and AW1 with a 14-megapixel image sensor and further increased autofocus speed to 15 frames per second (fps),[6] and the V3 and J4 with a new 18-megapixel image sensor, further increased autofocus speed to 20 fps, 120 fps HD slow-motion at 1280 x 720 and 1080/60p.[7] The J5 model added a 20.8MP sensor in 2015 and kept most other technical specifications the same as the J4 model.

At the time of announcement, Nikon claimed that the cameras featured 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.[8] Slow-motion movies can be captured in up to 1200 fps with reduced resolution. Its built-in intervalometer enables time-lapse photography.

  • F-mount to 1-mount adapter FT-1 enabling the use of all F-mount lenses especially with integrated autofocus motor. The FT-1 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.[38] 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). Although not recommended,[39] it can be used with teleconverters for extreme telephotos.[40][41]
  • 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.[42]
  • Nikon 1 Nikkor VR 10-100mm f/4.5-5.6 PD-Zoom integrates many technologies: 21 elements including 1 High Refractive Index (HRI, >2), 3 Extra-low Dispersion (ED) and 2 aspherical lenses,[43] 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.[44][45] 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.
  • The V1 incorporates a 'multi accessory port' currently used for dedicated 1 Series flash and GPS units as well as AS-N1000 cold shoe adapter for mounting the ME-1 stereo microphone.
  • High-speed dual multi-core image-processing pipelines with 600 megapixels per second speed using the Expeed 3 chip.[46]
  • Smart Photo Selector Mode enables selection of the best candidates out of a high-speed sequence.[47]
  • Advanced High-definition video recording allows uninterrupted filming while capturing high-resolution photos.
  • Firmware updates of the Nikon 1 lenses are possible.

Lens system

text
Nikon 1 J1

Template:Main Nikon developed an entirely new system of lenses and the Nikon 1-mount lens mount for the Nikon 1 series. These lenses are only compatible with 1-mount cameras. Nikon had not debuted a new lens mount since the F mount, which routine users of the Nikon D series are accustomed to. Although the F-mount adapter FT-1 enables the use of all F-mount compatible lenses, the native 1-mountse lenses are meant to be portable and compact.[48] There are 13 Nikkor lenses specifically built to fit the Nikon 1-mount in addition to several manual focus lenses from Samyang.

Every lens shown at the 2011 PDN PhotoPlus trade show (except the macro lens of unknown focal length) was eventually released before the system was discontinued. Template:Col-begin Template:Col-break

Accessories

Nikon presented at PDN PhotoPlus International Conference + Expo 2011 many forthcoming lenses, LED video and macro lights and video kits.[64] With the 1 series cameras having a non-standard hot shoe, the SB-N5 flashgun, which drew power from the camera itself, was made available.[65]

Other accessories

FT-1
This lens adapter allows many Nikon F-mount lenses to be used with a Nikon 1 series camera; the J5 has additional restrictions on compatibility. Autofocus is supported with AF-S lenses, and VR lenses support image stabilization. AF lenses without an internal motor are supported in manual focus mode, with a focus indicator available, and AI-type manual focus lenses are supported with limitations on metering and autoexposure modes.[73]
GP-N100
This GPS unit, designed for the Nikon 1 V-series cameras (V1/V2/V3), attaches to the camera's multi-accessory port. It draws its power from the body and writes the current position to the file EXIF after the location has been acquired.[74]
N1-CL1
This single-element diopter attaches to lenses with a 40.5 mm filter thread and shortens the minimum focus distance. With the 10–30 mm lens, the minimum focus distance is Template:Cvt, and with the 30–110 mm, the minimum focus distance is Template:Cvt.[75]
WU-1a and WU-1b
These wireless adapters allow the user to download images directly from the camera to a smartphone or tablet connected wirelessly through 802.11b or 802.11g using WPA2-PSK security. It also allows the connected phone/tablet to act as a remote shutter release with some mode limitations.
  • The WU-1a is compatible with the S2, along with some Nikon D-series DSLRs and advanced Coolpix cameras.
  • The WU-1b is compatible with the AW1, J3, S1, and V2, in addition to the D600 and D610 DSLRs.[76]

Reception

Independent reviews[77][78][79] and image comparisons at all ISO speeds in JPEG[35] and additionally Raw[80] are available. Both of the initially released 1 series cameras were criticized for having DSLR-like prices.[81] DxO Labs awarded the J1 sensor an overall score of 56.[32][34]
