Questions & Answers

Jack S : How long will is continuously record video?DONALD A : from the J3 manual p.57: Maximum Length. At default settings, HD movies can be up to 4GB in size and 20 minutes in length; note that depending on memory card write speed, shooting may end before this length is reached. from p.85: cards with class 6 or faster write speeds are recommended for movie recording. Adorama provides Sandisk Extreme 16gb memory card which is a class 10 (the next step better than class 6) with the camera.DOUGLAS L : Not sure how long it continuously records video. To the extent helpful, I recorded many scenes from my daughter's recent play, and had the camera on ready to record almost the whole time. Play was about an hour and a half. Started with a full charge, but I didn't have any battery issues at all. DAVID D : The manual indicates that at the default settings, movies can be up to 4 GB in size and 20 minutes in length. The manual notes that depending on memory card write speed, shooting may end before these lengths are reached. The manual recommends memory cards with Class 6 or faster write speeds for movie recording in order to avoid unexpected interruption. Hope this helps!EDWARD L : Jack, Wish I could answer the question, but its my wife camera and she hasn't used but once since I gave it to her for Christmas. Sorry I could give you a better answerLAURENCE B : Hi. Well I'm not sure about the answer but I think it relates to what size data card you install. So if you invest in a big data card you can get multiple 10s of minutes if not more. I will try to see what the time is for my card and let you know. HAN U : Maximum recording time is 20 minutes for 1080i and 1080p movies and 29 minutes for 720p movies.
Dan W : can it shoot in low light? Kids basketball gameCHARLES P : Dan, I think it can shoot in low light. I took it to Europe and took many interior pictures in light like a gym. Hope this is helpful.DUANE E : Dan; I purchased the Nikon 1 J3 several months ago and really like the camera alot. Great pictures and video. As far as the low light it does above average considering the lens; to get better lighting you would have to purchase a camera for several hundred dollars more. This is a great camera. Check my video on-line at YouTube under "That Darn Cat 3". Good luck and enjoy the Nikon 1 J3.TIMOTHY B : yes it can you have to pick your spots it does a very nice jobDAVE O : I have not shot indoor sporting events but can say it does well indoors under normal lighting. Would recommend getting the 10-100 lens rather than 2 lenses however.WILLIAM E : I don't think the 30-110mm will give you the results you probably want, but the 10-30mm would do a much better job with the correct white balance set up. The flash doesn't really have the range that would help that much.

Nice Camera

I am not a professional. I like the camera because it is light and portable.

Not for low lights

I bought this mainly for its high speed shooting capability So far, more than 7000 pictures were taken with this set. The battery life exceeds my expectation. It can last about 1500 shots with the following setups: turned off flash, set the LCD display to low, fine JPG (highest resolution) , continuous shot (5 fps). Mostly are manual and shutter priority. The battery has been charged 4 times during this period of time. The performance/quality for outdoor sports when there is good lights are good, and meets my expectations. The performance/quality for indoor sports (or low light) is not good, but was anticipated before I decide to buy. ISO 800 and above show obvious grain. Manual focus is difficult, for example, I find it difficult to focus on a panther behind the cage, or a fish in a tank, a rain-drop in a leaf where manual focus is preferred. I like the size, which is another reason I bought it. I can use it more in daily casual situation. The review is for this set only (Nikon 1 J3 with the 10-30mm, f/3.5-5.6 lense). I would give it a 4 star if the set were J3 with the 18.5mm, f/1.8 lense.

It might be little but its great!

Going from a large SLR camera was hard at first; but it was all up hill from there. Great quality on both the pictures and the viedos. A fast high speed storage media card is a plus for those videos. The 10mm by 110mm lens would be ideal. A great little camera that is very easy to use.

Amazing! I love it!

I wanted a camera with high shutter speed, but not too large for me to lug around. This is my first camera with interchangable lenses. I love the high speed and the slow motion video. I have 2 boys and with my old camera I couldn't get good action shots or good shots in low light. We spent serveral days just playing with the high speed! Usually it's hard to get my boys to let me take pictures, but the high speed features on this camera have changed that! Plus super fast shipping. I received it 2 days after I placed my order.

Bring your vision to life with the remarkable speed, image quality, creative features and design of the Nikon 1 system. New innovations make it easier to catch the moments that matter, apply artistic effects and share your creations with friends and family. The 14.2-megapixel Nikon 1 J3 camera is so easy to use, you'll forget how advanced it truly is.

Ignite your creativity with some of the most stunning images you've ever shot. The 14.2-megapixel Nikon 1 J3 brings your vision to life as exceptional photos, HD videos and Motion Snapshots that will have you capturing more moments than ever. Beautifully designed, remarkably simple and faster than any camera you've ever experienced, the Nikon 1 J3 will become the centerpiece of your creative expression and an endless source of inspiration.

The first thing you'll notice about your Nikon 1 J3 is its extraordinary speed. The LCD display has absolutely no lag. That means you can frame shots faster, pan faster, zoom faster do everything faster. The Hybrid AF System is the fastest in the world, so your images will be crystal clear, whether you're shooting a soaring bird or a fidgety child. The shutter fires at a blazing speed up to 15 shots per second continuously so you can freeze even the fastest moving subjects.

The best moments are made (and missed) in an instant. But imagine being able to slow down an important moment to see live action in slow motion. With the Nikon 1 J3 camera's amazing Slow View mode, that's exactly what happens. Slow down what you're seeing on the LCD, then select the shot you want. Combine that with Smart Photo Selector, which fires 20 shots with a single shutter press and selects the best five for you, and you've got every advantage for catching those once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Your creativity isn't limited to still photos with the Nikon 1 J3. A single press of a button and you'll be recording in dazzling Full HD 1080p video with stereo sound. See something that would make a great still image while you're recording? Simultaneously shoot full-resolution photos without missing a beat. Get the best of both worlds.

Your friends and family will love seeing your creations, and with the NIkon 1 J3, you'll never have to wait to share them. Add Nikon's WU-1b Wireless Mobile Adapter (sold separately), and instantly transfer your photos, videos or Motion Snapshots to your smartphone, tablet or compatible Wi-Fi(R) enabled device. Then share them as usual by email, text message or by uploading them to your favorite photo-sharing website. It couldn't be easier!

Capture the essence of a moment like never before with Motion Snapshot, a unique blend of motion, stills and sound that can be shared as .MOV movie files or arranged into an exciting slideshow. Add artistic flare with the camera's Creative Mode shoot in black & white, highlight a single color in an image, create expansive panoramas and more. You can even preview your shots before you take them with the Live Image Controls.

Like all Nikon cameras, the Nikon 1 J3 performs brilliantly in low light. High ISO sensitivity (up to 6400) lets you shoot without a flash at weddings, concerts, parties places that usually require extra illumination. Your photos will be true to your memory of the moment; and in extremely dim situations, the pop-up flash automatically lights a great shot.
