From the bright, exposed mountain trail to the shadowy depths of the jungle, the KeyMission 80 lets you capture nature in all its glory with vivid, high-contrast images and video. Waterproof down to 1 m¹ and shockproof from heights of up to 1.5 m², this tough, wearable action camera delivers superior image quality in all weather conditions. Its compact body contains two Nikon cameras: the main 12.4 MP camera features a 4.5 mm NIKKOR wide-angle lens, which offers an 80-degree angle of view. Exclusively designed for the camera, this super-small lens enables high-resolution images filled with rich texture and detail: it’s ideal for capturing vistas and dramatic Full HD movies. The secondary 4.9 MP self-portrait camera is located on the back of the body. This camera boasts a 1.8 mm NIKKOR wide-angle lens, which offers a 90-degree angle of view: ideal when you want to take centre stage with the whole landscape spread out around you.

Naturally ready for action: rapid-fire start-up and shooting

Thanks to its specialised autofocus / vibration reduction mechanism, the quick KeyMission 80 makes it easy to capture instances of fleeting beauty. If you use the supplied Camera Holder AA-4 to attach the camera to your backpack, simply detach the camera from the holder to switch the power on. Shoot via the camera’s touchscreen or shutter release button. Reattach the KeyMission 80 to the camera holder, and it will switch off again automatically. If you’re not using the camera holder, you can press any button and the camera will be ready to shoot in well under a second. Whichever method you use, through-the-lens image display activates instantly, and the camera is ready to record movies or capture images right after power on. And with incredibly short shooting intervals, the KeyMission 80 won’t miss a chance to immortalise epic discoveries.

Always there, never in the way

Always there, never in the way

Small, light, and with multiple ways to wear and carry it, the KeyMission 80 is a natural choice in places where you’d hesitate to take out your compact camera or smartphone. A built-in strap and karabiner eyelet make it simple to hang the camera around your neck, or attach it to your belt. The supplied Camera Holder AA-4 securely fastens the camera to the strap of a backpack—just clip it on and you’re ready for action. The on-board LED light aids focusing in dark situations, and a micro SD card slot keeps the camera light without compromising on storage. To make sure you get great quality images and video on the move, Nikon’s electronic Vibration Reduction (e-VR) dramatically reduces the effects of camera shake. And a wind noise reduction function lets you reduce the sound of wind passing over the camera’s built-in stereo microphone during movie recording.

Record hands free: handy, easy to operate design

Record hands free: handy, easy to operate design

Record every moment without interrupting the experience. Everything about the KeyMission 80 has been designed with the outdoor adventurer in mind. There’s no need to stop what you’re doing to dig out your camera and frame the shot. The KeyMission 80 is right there and ready to go, with simple controls that let you take high-resolution photos and record Full HD movie footage. You can operate the camera with your thumb while you hold the body: or you can shoot completely hands free, with the camera attached to the supplied Camera Holder AA-4. Easy-to-read, high-contrast icons are arranged on the camera’s 1.7 in, 230 k-dot touch-panel LCD monitor so they never overlap with the image. The screen is treated with an anti-reflective coating for high visibility even in bright sunlight.

Versatile still image and movie shooting modes make it easy to do justice to stunning scenery and exciting events. Capture the beauty of mountain vistas with Easy Panorama. Fill in highly contrasting scene elements using High Dynamic Range (HDR). Create a time-lapse movie of the climb to the summit. You can even attach the camera to the forks of your bike, activate the route-shooting feature, then forget about it. You’re free to focus on the ride, while the camera captures breathtaking action shots. Route-shooting records up to 100 still images, or a series of 10 three-second movie logs, at preset intervals during a specified shooting time. The camera can even edit the resulting footage for you—automatically combining your short clips into an adventurous 30-second highlight reel.

SnapBridge: keep your Nikon connected to your smart device

It isn’t just this camera’s body that’s easy to use. The KeyMission 80 is Bluetooth®³ enabled, and fully compatible with Nikon’s SnapBridge. Utilising Bluetooth®³ low energy technology, SnapBridge maintains a constant, low-power connection between your camera and your favourite smartphone or tablet. Connecting the camera to your smart device is an easy, one-time operation. Once it’s done, photos can be transferred automatically from the camera to your device as you shoot: you can share your adventures the moment you stop for the day. Images synced while you shoot are automatically re-sized so they’re easy to review and quick to upload to social media. Review, edit in your favourite app, or upload to your social feeds while dinner cooks on the campfire. Every time you land in a new location, SnapBridge will automatically update your camera with the right time and date. All your shots will be in the correct date order no matter how many time zones you cross. And SnapBridge even makes it simple to geotag images so it’s easy to plot photos on a map.
