ALens Care

•When using an optional lens hood, do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the hood.

•Keep the CPU contacts clean.

•Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the lens surfaces. To remove smudges and fingerprints, apply a small amount of ethanol or lens cleaner to a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens-cleaning tissue and clean from the center outwards using a circular motion, taking care not to leave smears or touch the glass with your fingers.

•Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the lens.

•A lens hood or NC filter can be used to protect the front lens element.

•Attach the front and rear caps when the lens is not in use.

•If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry location to prevent mold and rust. Do not store in direct sunlight or with naphtha or camphor moth balls.

•Keep the lens dry. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irrep- arable damage.

•Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp parts made from reinforced plastic.

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.
