Twenty years ago the rst digital camera was intro-
duced. Since then, photographs and videos have
become dramatically more accessible. The world
of photography and videography has evolved from
one that offers creative freedom to shoot, to one
that explores ways of enjoying and sharing these
unique digital creations.
Photos and video help us communicate everything
from the mundane to the triumphant. Their over-
whelming dominance as a mode of communica-
tion, expression and inuence is vast.
The camera that helps us capture this
change is here.
A NIKON THE
WORLD HAS
NEVER SEEN...

...AND IT HAPPENS
TO BE VERY, VERY
SMALL.
NIKON’S
REVOLUTIONARY
NEW NIKON 1
To meet today’s incredible insatiability for digital
imagery, Nikon set out to design a new imaging
system engineered from the ground up. A com-
pletely fresh look at digital imaging was made –
and a goal to create one camera able to satisfy all
needs was set.
Nikon combined the most advanced functions with
superior operability to provide both simple and
universally intuitive design. We balanced unprece-
dented portability with unparalleled image quality.
We looked not only to bring freedom to produce
both high-quality still and moving images, but to
bring an entirely new feel to visual expression with
the combination of music.
Introducing the new advanced interchangeable-lens
digital camera system: Nikon 1. A high-performance,
portable, versatile camera, Nikon 1 delivers stunning
image results.
Nikon Revolutionizes Imaging with Nikon 1.
A Breakthrough in Technology and Design.

MOTION SNAPSHOT
Brings to life new photographic and live motion
expression to capture your precious moments.
FEATURES MOTION SNAPSHOT NIKON 1
Nikon 1 has re-engineered imaging, creating a new way to preserve and
share your memories, with something more than just a photo or movie.
In a single touch of the shutter button, start creating your own Motion Snapshot.
The camera grabs a high-resolution still, plus a one-second movie vignette.
When played back, your Motion Snapshot becomes a magical motion series
showing the movie displayed in dramatic slow motion culminating with a still
image. Music accompanies the playback.
Whether it’s an infant’s eeting change of expressions, or landscape ambience
of trees gently swaying in the wind, you can capture moments more vividly and
emotionally through Motion Snapshot.

FASTEST
AUTOFOCUS
Incredibly fast and seamless.
Capture the action you never
knew existed.
Fastest Autofocus with 73-point Focal Plane Phase-
Detect. Nikon 1 offers advanced focusing technol-
ogy to help capture special moments with ease.
First, we present incredibly responsive autofocus
speed with focal plane phase-detect AF to track and
capture fast-moving subjects in sharp, crystal-clear
focus. Second is Nikon’s incredible 73-point focal
plane phase-detect AF that extensively and thor-
oughly monitors all action: the subject in the eld of
view is recognized and tracked to ensure elements
on the focal plane are rendered sharply.
Finally, when working in poorly lit areas, the
Advanced Hybrid AF System automatically selects
contrast-detect AF mode then expands the area
metered by autofocus to improve output.
