Locate your best shot with slow-motion search

Common Features

Locate your best shot with slow-motion search.

Slow view

When faced with a tricky fast-motion scene like a skateboarder lifting off, how do you pick just the right moment to shoot? Try slow view. When you half-press the shutter-release button, your Nikon 1 shoots continuously, capturing as many as 40* frames in a few seconds.

On the LCD monitor† you’ll see the action occurring in slow motion. Once you see an image you like, just fully depress the shutter-release button—the precise moment is yours!

*J3 records 20 frames; S1: 15 frames; and V2: 40 frames †On V2, the electronic viewfinder also displays the action.

Live image control

Use live image control to see how different effects look before you shoot. It’s easy. Each time you adjust contrast, background blur, brightness, or shutter speed, the results are displayed on the LCD monitor.* When you see an effect you like, just shoot. Live image control turns you into a more creative photographer by making photographic effects easier to see and understand.

Note: Continuous shooting is not available and a flash cannot be used when live image control is in effect. *On V2, the electronic viewfinder also displays the effects.
