AInterval Timer Photography

A warning will be displayed if the camera is unable to start interval timer photography at current settings (for example, when “Bulb” is selected for shutter speed). While interval timer photography is in progress, settings can not be adjusted and the camera will not turn off automatically (0 18).

AInterrupting Interval Timer Photography

Interval timer shooting ends and interval timer settings are reset when the camera is turned off, the battery is exhausted, the memory card is full, the mode dial is rotated to a new setting, or the Gor Kbutton is pressed.

Vibration Reduction

This option is available with lenses that supports vibration reduction (VR). The options available vary with the type of lens: Normal/Active/Off for lenses that support active vibration reduction and On/Off for other VR lenses. Choose Active, Nor- mal, or On to reduce the effects of vibration; choose Active when shooting from a moving vehicle or while walking or for other forms of strong camera shake, Normal for the relatively mild camera shake that occurs while standing still.

AVibration Reduction

When the camera is panned, vibration reduction applies only to motion that is not part of the pan (if the camera is panned horizontally, for example, vibration reduction will be applied only to vertical shake), making it much easier to pan the camera smoothly in a wide arc. The composition may appear to change after the shutter is released, but this does not indicate a malfunction.

V1 specifications

The Nikon V1 is a notable mirrorless camera that emerged into the compact camera market, effectively bridging the gap between point-and-shoot devices and traditional DSLRs. Launched in 2011 as part of Nikon's J1 and V1 series, it introduced a range of innovative features that appealed to both amateur photographers and enthusiasts looking for a lightweight, high-performance camera.

One of the standout characteristics of the Nikon V1 is its 10.1-megapixel CX format sensor. This sensor size is smaller than the APS-C sensors found in many DSLRs, but it delivers remarkable image quality, especially in good lighting conditions. The V1's sensor allows for quick readout speeds, enabling faster shooting rates and better overall performance in capturing moving subjects.

The camera includes an impressive continuous shooting speed of up to 60 frames per second with focus locked, making it an excellent choice for sports and wildlife photography. This high burst rate is particularly noteworthy in a camera of its size and offers an advantage in capturing fleeting moments. In addition, the camera provides a standard shooting speed of 10 frames per second with full autofocus, ensuring that users do not miss critical action shots.

The V1 also comes equipped with advanced autofocus systems, featuring 73 focus points, with a hybrid focus system that utilizes both phase detection and contrast detection during focusing. This system offers swift and accurate focusing, enhancing the user experience, especially in dynamic shooting scenarios.

Moreover, the Nikon V1 showcases an array of creative shooting modes and effects, including Full HD 1080p video recording at 60 frames per second. This video capability is complemented by features such as Motion Snapshot, allowing users to combine still images with video clips to create unique moments in a single frame.

An additional noteworthy aspect of the V1 is its sturdy build, featuring a magnesium alloy body that offers durability and a premium feel. Its compact design and lightweight nature make it easy to carry, positioning it as an ideal travel companion for adventure seekers.

Ultimately, the Nikon V1 stands out in the mirrorless category due to its innovative features, including rapid shooting capabilities, hybrid autofocus, and video functionalities, all within a compact and robust design. For those seeking a blend of portability and performance without compromising on image quality, the Nikon V1 remains a compelling option in the realms of mirrorless photography.
