The black Nikon 1 J4 Mirrorless Digital Camera is a versatile camera featuring a CX-format 18.4MP CMOS sensor and EXPEED 4A image processor to produce high-resolution stills and full HD movies with notable sensitivity to ISO 12800. The combination of these two technologies also affords fast performance throughout the camera, including a full-resolution continuous shooting rate of 20 fps with full-time autofocus and a 120 fps movie frame rate for recording slow motion sequences. Complementing the imaging assets is an equally deft Hybrid AF System, which combines both phase- and contrast-detection focusing methods to deliver AF performance that is both quick and precise.
Within the compact overall form factor, a large 3.0" 1,037k-dot touchscreen LCD is available for intuitive navigation throughout the menu system as well as for employing touch focus and shutter release controls. Additionally, this interface also provides a simple means to access the built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for instant image transfer to linked mobile devices.
Included with the camera body is the sleek 1 NIKKOR VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 PD-ZOOM lens, which provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 27-81mm. This wide-angle to short telephoto lens features a Power-Drive zoom mechanism, for quick, smooth control, and VR image stabilization to suppress the effects of camera shake. To further extend the effective focal length range, the 1 NIKKOR VR 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 lens is also included, and provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 81-297mm. This lens also incorporates Vibration Reduction to benefits its telephoto reach and utilizes extra-low dispersion glass to minimize chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range. A Super Integrated Coating further contributes to well-maintained contrast, color neutrality, and overall image clarity.

Also included with the camera, and complementing the 10-30mm lens, is the 1 NIKKOR VR 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 lens. This telephoto zoom lens provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 81-297mm and utilizes Vibration Reduction image stabilization to minimize the appearance of camera shake throughout the zoom range. Extra-low dispersion glass, along with a Super Integrated Coating, help to maintain overall image clarity while also providing marked reduction chromatic aberrations.
