NIKON 1 J5 Primary Features

1. Incredible moving-subject capturing performance that exceeds that of digital SLR cameras

• The world's fastest high-speed continuous shooting with AF at approximately 20 fps, and the world's shortest shooting time lag
• The superior AF performance of the NIKON 1 J5 enables capture of even moving subjects in sharp focus. The world's fastest high-speed continuous shooting with AF at approximately 20 fps and the world's shortest shooting time lag enables certain capture of decisive moments.
• Advanced hybrid AF system features 105 phase-detection AF points that respond quickly and precisely to rapidly changing scenes
• Phase-detection teams with contrast-detect AF for virtually full-frame coverage. Featuring 171 AF points tightly packed over nearly the entire frame, of which 105 are phase-detection points, this system offers superb focus accuracy for any scene.
• Sports mode optimal for photographing moving subjects
• The mode dial on the NIKON 1 J5 offers a Sports mode that makes capturing rapidly moving subjects fun and easy. Choosing Sports mode enables quick adjustment of settings suited to continuous shooting. With playback, each burst or series of images captured in Sports mode plays back as a group, making viewing and confirming images after capture smoother.

2. An effective pixel count of 20.8-million pixels, a new backside-illumination CMOS image sensor, and the new EXPEED 5A image-processing engine achieve even better image quality

• The NIKON 1 J5 offers a backside-illumination structure adopted for the first time in the Nikon 1 series with a newly developed backside-illumination CMOS image sensor.
  This, along with the renowned EXPEED 5A image-processing engine, achieves extremely detailed rendering of images with which noise is effectively suppressed throughout the ISO 160–12800 range of sensitivities. The ISO 6400 (NR) and 12800 (NR) noise reduction functions use very precise processing to combine images with shooting at high sensitivities to acquire photos exhibiting superior image quality with very little noise, even with shooting in dimly lit surroundings or situations. In addition, the noise reduction function used with movie recording has been improved for movies exhibiting superior picture quality in which noise is effectively suppressed. Further, Active D-Lighting, which can now be used with movies, allows users to record movies exhibiting beautiful rendering, even of backlit or high-contrast scenes.
