The Nikon 1 J2 is a stylish small system electronic camera featuring a 10-megapixel "CX" format sensor as well as the Nikon 1 lens mount. Withing constant shooting speeds of approximately 60 frames per second at complete resolution, Complete HD video clip capture, an ultra-fast hybrid auto-focus system, Smart Image Selector as well as an one-of-a-kind Motion Snapshot Method, the portable Nikon J2 additionally offers even more traditional capturing methods like Programmed Automobile, Aperture and Shutter Priority, as well as Metered Handbook as well as a brand-new Creative Method that offers a selection of photo impacts as well as easier accessibility to the video camera's vital setups. Likewise on board is an integrated pop-up flash with a book number of 5, a 3 inch back display with an increased resolution of 921k-dots, and also a digital shutter. The Nikon 1 J2 is available in white, black, silver, pink, red and orange and also is valued at $549.95/ ₤ 499.99 with a 10-30mm zoom lens, or $799.95/ ₤ 649.99 in a double-lens package with the 10-30mm and 30-110mm zoom lenses.
The Nikon 1 J2 is primarily constructed of aluminium with magnesium alloy strengthened components as well as is for that reason heavier compared to you would believe based on its dimension alone, considering in at 237g for the body only. It also really feels a lot better made compared to the official product shots would have you believe. With a basically grip-less layout, the Nikon J2 is very much a two-handed affair that needs you to hold the cam's weight in the left hand, holding the lens, as well as utilize your right hand for equilibrium and operating the controls. This is really a good idea as it requires you to take note of holding the cam properly, which consequently goes a long means to preventing shake-induced blur in your pictures.
The cam's tidy, minimalist front plate is dominated by the Nikon 1 lens install. The lenses themselves showcase a short silver ridge on the lens barrel, which requires to be in alignment with claimed dot in order for you to be able to affix the lens to the camera.
With no lens affixed, you could see the sensor resting right behind the airplane of the bayonet install. Provided that Four Thirds has a 2x focal size multiplier, the CX "plant factor" works out to concerning 2.72, meaning that a 10mm lens has approximately the same angle of sight as a 27.2 mm lens on an FX or 35mm film electronic camera. The Nikon 1 Nikkor 10-30mm typical zoom is thus equal to a 27.2-81.6 mm (or, practically talking, 28-80mm) FX lens in terms of its angle-of-view array.
The rest of the Nikon J2's faceplate is virtually empty, featuring just the lens launch, a receiver for the optional ML-L3 infrared remote, two slim slits for the microphone either side of the lens, and an AF assist/self-timer light. There's no grip whatsoever on the front of the Nikon 1 J2, although strangly the Red as well as Pink selections of the J2 do have a textured grasp - we have actually no concept why those colour-schemes benefit, and not the others.

You could either utilise the on/off switch sitting following to the shutter release or, if you have a collapsible-barrel zoom lens connected, you could merely push the unlocking button on the lens barrel and transform the zoom ring to unlock the lens, an act that causes the video camera to change on instantly. This is an inventive solution as you require to uncover the lens for shooting anyhow.
You could mount your shots utilising the rear screen - there's no electronic viewfinder as on the V1 version, a key distinction in between both. The new LCD screen is an updated three-inch, 921,000-dot display (the same screen that the V1 makes use of) that withs vast watching angles, terrific definition as well as precise colours as well as boosted presence in strong daylight. We missed out on the EVF when utilizing the J2 together with the V1, as holding the cam as much as eye-level assisted to secure the lens and prevent electronic camera shake.
The control design is rather strange. The Nikon 1 J2 has a little, rear-mounted mode dial that lacks most of the capturing methods that are typically discovered on similar dials - most notably P, M, s and also - although it has enough space to fit them. These modes are available on the J2 but you need to study the rather wordy and not completely rational food selection to locate them. The J2's method dial currently has 5 setups, Motion Snapshot, Smart Picture Selector, Car Photo, the brand-new Imaginative method, as well as Video clip. The four-way controller additionally has actually 4 functions mapped onto its Up, Right, Down and also Left switches; including AE/AF-Lock, direct exposure payment, flash method as well as self-timer, specifically. This isn't a bad option of features, the fact that there is no ISO switch will easily create a whole lot of photographers interested in purchasing the Nikon J2 to be unhappy.
In the Creative method, it permits you to quickly select between the various shooting modes, while in Video mode it allows you toggle between routine and slow-motion recording. The scroll wheel is utilised to establish the shutter rate in Handbook and Shutter Concern modes (as soon as you've located them in the menu, that is), while the rocker switch manages the aperture. Last however not least, there are four little switches around the navigation pad, flush versus the rear panel of the video camera, consisting of Show Mode, Playback, Menu and also Erase.

Just what are those shooting modes on the method dial all about? The Nikon J2's Scene Automobile Selector is a wise vehicle mode in which the video camera analyses the scene in front of its lens as well as selects just what it believes is the best method for that particular scene. You could likewise choose one of the traditional PASM methods, which provide you full food selection accessibility and the capability to by hand establish the aperture, shutter rate, or both (Program AE Change is available in P method).
Flaunting continuous capturing speeds of up to 60 frameworks each 2nd at complete resolution, Complete HD video capture, an ultra-fast hybrid auto-focus system, Smart Image Selector and a special Movement Photo Method, the portable Nikon J2 additionally provides more standard shooting modes like Programmed Vehicle, Aperture as well as Shutter Priority, as well as Metered Handbook as well as a brand-new Creative Mode that offers a selection of photo effects as well as simpler accessibility to the video camera's vital setups. The Nikon 1 J2 has a little, rear-mounted method dial that does not have most of the shooting methods that are usually found on comparable dials - most especially P, A, S as well as M - also though it has enough area to fit them. The J2's method dial now has five setups, Activity Photo, Smart Picture Selector, Vehicle Image, the new Innovative mode, and also Video clip. In the Innovative method, it permits you to promptly choose between the various capturing modes, while in Video clip mode it allows you toggle in between slow-motion and also normal recording. The Nikon J2's Scene Vehicle Selector is a smart auto method in which the electronic camera evaluations the scene in front of its lens as well as chooses just what it thinks is the right method for that particular scene.
