The Nikon 1 S2 is a slimline, easy-to-use mirrorless Compact System Camera featuring a 14.2-megapixel CMOS sensor and rapid autofocus system to capture all the action, even in low light. Film exciting Full HD (1080p) video clips and view them on the brilliant 3-inch 460k-dot LCD monitor.

Stunning images
shoot brilliant photos and HD movies at up to ISO 12800 with the large 14.2-megapixel CMOS sensor. With no optical low-pass filter, this fast CX-format sensor makes the most of every megapixel to deliver richly detailed, crystal-clear images even when you shoot in dim light.

EXPEED 4A engine
Nikon’s dual-engine image processor keeps you shooting spectacular images and HD movies at speed. One processing engine enables the camera’s stunning image quality; the other ensures fast, reliable performance and seamless continuous shooting.

Advanced hybrid AF
Lock onto action instantly with an autofocus system that includes 73 phase-detection AF points. Phase-detection AF is used in D-SLRs and keeps pace with your subject no matter how fast it moves. When the light is low or your subject is located at the edge of the frame, this intelligent hybrid system instantly switches to use contrast-detect AF for spot-on results every time.

Split-second shooting
The Nikon 1 S2 can snap full-resolution photos of the action faster than you can see it unfold. The camera takes ten images in a rapid burst, delivering continuous shooting at up to 60 fps with focus fixed at the first frame, and up to 20 fps with continuous AF.

Full HD videos
Nikon 1 makes it easy to film exciting Full HD (1080p) video clips. Hit the record button to start filming instantly and enjoy smooth footage of even fast-moving action. Electronic VR (vibration reduction) maintains a stable view even at full zoom.

Creative movie modes
Fast Motion, Jump Cut, and 4-Second Movie features put the cinematographer in you centre stage. Energise your street scenes with Fast Motion, put an animated stop-motion feel on the passage of time with Jump Cut, or get expressive with to-the-point 4-Second Movie clips (you can stitch 8 together).
