The Nikon 1 V2 is a compact, lightweight digital camera with interchangeable lenses. It provides detailed images even under poor lighting conditions, not least due to its CMOS sensor with hybrid autofocus function and a resolution of 14.2 MP. The camera also features a continuous advance mode allowing the user to take up to 60 images per second. The camera is primarily operated with a function wheel, which can be adjusted even when the photographer is looking through the viewfinder.
