The Nikon 1 S1 is a compact system camera featuring a 10-megapixel “CX” format sensor and the Nikon 1 lens mount.
What is the difference between the Nikon 1 S1 and J3?
The Nikon 1 S1 is the little brother of the Nikon 1 J3. It has a 10.1 MP sensor, 11-27.5mm kits lens, and lacks some key features. The Nikon 1 S1 was announced this past January, at the same time as the Nikon 1 J3, which I reviewed this past March.
Can the Nikon 1 S1 shoot slow motion video?
In addition to being capable of shooting regular movies in HD quality, the Nikon 1 S1 can also shoot video at 400fps for slow-motion playback. The resolution is lower and the aspect ratio is an ultra-widescreen 2.67:1, but the quality is adequate for YouTube, Vimeo and the like.
Where is the shooting mode dial on the Nikon 1 S1?
The Nikon 1 S1 doesn’t have a shooting mode dial, as on the J3 and the V2 – instead you have to dive into the rather long-winded and not entirely logical menu to find them. The S1’s mode menu has five settings, Motion Snapshot, Best Moment Capture, Auto for beginners, the Creative mode, and Advanced Movie.
What’s the difference between the Nikon S1 and Nikon 1 NIKKOR 10-30mm?
The Nikon 1 Nikkor 10-30mm standard zoom is thus equivalent to a 27.2-81.6mm (or, practically speaking, 28-80mm) FX lens in terms of its angle-of-view range. The rest of the Nikon S1’s faceplate is almost empty, featuring only the lens release button and an AF assist/self-timer lamp.
Can AI-S lenses be mounted on any Nikon camera?
AI and AI-S lenses can be mounted on all Nikon cameras with an F-mount. However, lower-end cameras such as the D3xxx and D5xxx don’t have the aperture feeler so you lose light metering.
What is the difference between Nikon AF and AF-S?
Although the original AF system works well and allows for smaller and lighter lenses, in 1998 Nikon introduced AF-S (not to be confused with autofocus single mode, also called AF-S). AF-S lenses have their own focus motor built in. Nikon uses ultrasonic motors, which they call “silent wave”.
