- Extremely compact with 1 NIKKOR 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6.

A compact, lightweight camera system that is highly portable.
Nikon 1 J2 has a surprisingly compact and lightweight body for an interchangeable-lens digital camera with built-in flash, in which the high-quality imaging technology and a myriad of other advanced functions are condensed into. Also, the entire lineup of accessories including the interchangeable 1 NIKKOR lenses are similarly compact and lightweight making them easy to carry, never missing out on a photo opportunity. What's more, the lenses are available in the same color variations as the bodies for a nifty outlook.
Color variations & design
A rich variety of colors and high-quality textures that promise to delight each time you pick up your camera.
From orange to black, you can choose your favorite out of six body colors of Nikon 1 J2. The lenses are also available in the same colors as the body for a cool, matching appearance. The camera has been rid of excessive buttons and switches in an effort to pursue the most beautiful, compact and high-quality design. The marks on the large dial have been carved on the aluminum for a refined touch of the texture.
Creative mode

You can apply blurs to the entire frame and create an image with a very gentle impression.
Backlighting
When HDR (high dynamic range) is turned on while in backlighting mode, the camera composites images taken at different exposures. Featuring a wide dynamic range, this function controls overexposure and underexposure to render a well-balanced, natural image with little noise and with an extensive range of tones. Use this function for shooting high contrast landscapes and stationary subjects. The built-in flash will be used when HDR is turned off.
Night landscape
Nikon 1 makes it easy to capture the nightscapes. The camera reduces blur and noise by compositing images captured at high speed.
Night portrait
Take portrait photos at night with the night portrait setting. The camera automatically combines images of the background and the subject captured with the flash, to fully render both the subject and the background.
Easy panorama
Capture the grand scenery before your eyes in one shot. You can create a dynamic panorama image by simply moving the camera following the monitor display. You can also create a panorama vertically as well as horizontally. When recording, the camera automatically detects your hand's movement to choose a horizontal or vertical frame.
