Advanced hybrid AF system features 105 phase-detection AF points that respond quickly and precisely to rapidly changing scenes
Phase-detection teams with contrast-detect AF for virtually full-frame coverage.
Featuring 171 AF points tightly packed over nearly the entire frame, of which 105 are phase-detection points, this system offers superb focus accuracy for any scene.

Sports mode optimal for photographing moving subjects

The mode dial on the NIKON 1 J5 offers a Sports mode that makes capturing rapidly moving subjects fun and easy. Choosing Sports mode enables quick adjustment of settings suited to continuous shooting. With playback, each burst or series of images captured in Sports mode plays back as a group, making viewing and confirming images after capture smoother.

An effective pixel count of 20.8-million pixels, a new backside-illumination CMOS image sensor, and the new

EXPEED 5A image-processing engine achieve even better image quality

The NIKON 1 J5 offers a backside-illumination structure adopted for the first time in the Nikon 1 series with a newly developed backside-illumination CMOS image sensor.

This, along with the renowned EXPEED 5A image-processing engine, achieves extremely detailed rendering of images with which noise is effectively suppressed throughout the ISO 160–12800 range of sensitivities. The ISO 6400 (NR) and 12800 (NR) noise reduction functions use very precise processing to combine images with shooting at high sensitivities to acquire photos exhibiting superior image quality with very little noise, even with shooting in dimly lit surroundings or situations. In addition, the noise reduction function used with movie recording has been improved for movies exhibiting superior picture quality in which noise is effectively suppressed. Further, Active D-Lighting, which can now be used with movies, allows users to record movies exhibiting beautiful rendering, even of backlit or high-contrast scenes.

Superior operation that supports intuitive, full-scale photography

An Fn (function) button to which a frequently used function can be assigned
The NIKON 1 J5 is the first camera in the J series to be equipped with a Function (Fn) button to which a frequently used function can be assigned. This enables immediate access to the assigned function by simply pressing the Fn button during shooting. By assigning a function regularly used to the Function (Fn) button, flexibility of use is significantly increased.

A command dial that can be used to adjust settings while framing images

The NIKON 1 J5 is the first camera in the J series to be equipped with a command dial for smooth adjustment of camera settings. It allows users to adjust a variety of settings without looking away from the scene they have framed.

A tilting LCD monitor and Self-portrait mode convenient for capturing self-portraits

The camera is equipped with a tilting LCD monitor that not only supports shooting from low and high angles, but also supports capture of self-portraits. When the tilting monitor is reversed for capturing self-portraits, the new Self-portrait mode is automatically enabled with display that allows users to confirm composition and the like while taking photos of themselves.

A comfortable grip

The elegant and refined body offers a grip that seems to form to the hand for a firm and steady hold.
A compact and lightweight body that is both elegant and easy to use
The NIKON 1 J5 is an elegant camera with an authentic appearance, functional design and mechanical buttons and dials with a metal feel that will make users proud to own. The compact and lightweight body is extremely portable and comfortable to use, even over extended periods of time, supporting hours of reliable shooting enjoyment.
