Digital Camera Description

The Nikon 1 J4 is a Mirrorless Digital Camera with a 1" sensor and a Nikon 1 lens mount. Its 18 Megapixels CMOS sensor offers an ISO 160-12800 sensitivity range which is expandable to ISO 160-12800. This makes it possible to shoot hand-held in relatively low-light. With 18 MP of resolution, sharp prints are possible up to 22" x 14" at 240 DPI.

This camera features an electronic shutter that can expose for 1/16000 to 30s. This camera can make Bulb exposures up to 2m. With a fastest shutter-speed of 1/16000, fast action can easily be frozen. Night photography is possible using this digital camera due to its long exposure capability. This camera model offers Full Manual Controls.

The Nikon 1 J4 features a 171-point Phase-Detect AF system. Autofocus can continuously adjust according to subject distance. A Real-Time Autofocus Tracking System allows focus to follow a moving subject within the frame. Manual Focus is also available.
