Action control

Action control

A whole new dimension to shooting ease, even when you’re wearing gloves. Simply hold down the Action Control button, then tilt the camera to adjust settings or review what you’ve captured.

Track your adventures: Support for GPS and GLONASS means you can record your exact location in the image data (EXIF).

Instant sharing: Send photos straight from the camera to your smartphone or tablet***** using the WU-1b Wireless Mobile Adapter. Easily share your adventures or preview images on a larger screen.

Movie magic: Get the best of two worlds and capture full-resolution photos (aspect ratio 3:2) while filming a Full HD movie. Just press the shutter-release to snap the photo; movie recording is not affected.

Where are you? Track your altitude or underwater depth with the dual altimeter/depth gauge. Check your position with the electronic compass and use the virtual horizon to avoid photos with sloping lines.

Advanced Movie Mode: Select Advanced Movie Mode, and you can effortlessly change manual exposure settings to set shutter speed and aperture before or during shooting. Or you can film with a smaller frame size and achieve dramatic effects in extreme slow motion.

Motion Snapshot: Show more of a moment and bring your stills to life in just one click. The camera creates an easy-to-share “living image” by capturing a moment in time as a short, slow-motion movie that ends with a high-resolution photo.

EXPEED 3A: Nikon’s next-generation dual-processing engine processes data at incredible speed for unparalleled performance in any situation. It easily handles the camera’s many processor-intensive tasks, such as high-speed continuous shooting and simultaneous recording of photos and movies.

Best Moment Capture: Always get the best shot. Slow View captures up to 20 continuous shots and simultaneously displays them in slow motion on the LCD screen, so you can select the exact moment you want to keep. Smart Photo Selector takes up to 20 high-resolution images and recommends up to five of the best.

Live Image Control: The quick, easy way to enhance your photos before you take them. Instinctively adjust settings to freeze action, tweak lighting, or blur backgrounds—you can see the effect your changes will have in real time on the LCD monitor.

Creative Mode: Apply filters and effects to still images before you shoot, and access PSAM shooting modes for total control. Try the underwater settings for some undersea artistry and reproduce colours beneath the ocean, lake, or pool in all their natural beauty.

Easy outdoor shooting: Extra space between control buttons facilitates easier operation when wearing gloves. The non-slip grip ensures a firm hold, and the Outdoor display mode makes menus clearer and easier to read when shooting under bright sunlight or in murky underwater conditions.

Outdoor style: The stainless steel front panel adds a touch of class. Rubber seals at critical locations and an O-ring on the lens mount protect the camera system from water and dust. Double-lock battery and USB/HDMI compartment covers reduce the chance of accidental opening.

Waterproof pop-up flash: Waterproof to 15 m, the built-in, compact flash unit illuminates the details of subjects you can get close to, like coral. On land, illuminate subjects up to 6 m away from the camera.

Expandable system: Looking for variety? There are plenty of ways to get more out of your Nikon 1. Two dedicated water- and shockproof 1 NIKKOR AW lenses are as handsome and robust as the camera. For even more possibilities, the complete range of 1 NIKKOR lenses is compatible with the Nikon 1 AW1, and you can use a NIKKOR DSLR lens in combination with the FT1 mount adapter.

Waterproof accessories: Tough, waterproof straps keep your Nikon 1 AW1 safe and within reach. A removable camera grip allows a firm grasp even when you’re shooting in extreme environments. A silicone jacket protects the edges of the camera from scratches, so you can keep it looking good as new.
