Nikon S1
The flexibility of an interchangeable lens camera meets simplicity, portability and speed. The new Nikon 1 S1 puts a host of powerful features in the palm of your hands. Yet, its intuitive controls make it easy to operate, so you can concentrate on discovering new horizons in photography.
Powerful yet portable
The S1 features an attractive streamlined body, perfect for photographers looking for a high-quality and portable everyday camera. Take it with you everywhere to capture the pleasant surprises life has to offer. Available in 5 colours with matching
Quicker than the blink of an eye
The S1 features high-speed autofocus and the world's shortest1 release lag time (just 80ms in single-point autofocus). You can even capture stunning mid-action shots with its blazing-fast 15 fps of continuous shooting, so you will never miss a moment.
Making perfection simple
With the S1, capturing the perfect shot has never been easier. Its Enhanced Smart Photo Selector feature takes up to 15 frames before and after you press the shutter release, then automatically presents you with the best shot or the 5 top picks to choose from. For awe-inspiring mid-action shots, use its Slow View feature to record a 15-frame slow motion video, then turn the most impressive frame into a jaw-dropping photo.
Unparalleled image quality
The S1 features a large 10.1-megapixel CX-format CMOS sensor combined with Nikon's advanced EXPEED 3A engine - offering unprecedented clarity, colour and noise reduction even in low lighting. With its Auto Distortion Control, you will enjoy pristine distortion-free images, no matter which lens you use.
Your shots. Your style.
The S1 offers a host of effects that let you add your own style to every photo. These include Night landscape, Backlighting, Soft focus, Selective colour, Miniature effect and more.
Control with simplicity
The S1 is surprisingly simple to use. Its user-friendly graphical interface lets you effortlessly access any feature. In AUTO mode, use Live Image Control to preview your settings before taking your shot. In low-light situations, a pop-up i-TTL flash gives you the right amount of lighting every time.
Relive the moment
There is a story behind every photo. With Refined Motion Snapshot, stories come to life through the combination of a still image and a slow-motion video. Add background music to these videos and save them in different movie formats to make your own unique memories.
Expand your options
There is no limit to what you can do with the S1. Choose from a wide range of accessories, such as 1 NIKKOR lenses, a waterproof case, the WU-1b Wireless Mobile Adapter and more. Furthermore with the F-Mount Adaptor, any NIKKOR lens is at your disposal.
