Nikon 1 J3 has a 14.0MP 1-inch (13.2 x 8.8 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . You can shoot at maximum resolution of 4608 x 3072 pixels with aspect ratios of 3:2 and 16:9. 1 J3 has a native ISO range of 160 – 6400 and it can save files in RAW format which gives you a wider room for post processing.
Are the Nikon 1 J1 and Nikon 1 V1 macro lenses?
You don’t say whether you are using the Nikon 1 J1 or Nikon 1 V1 nor which lens you are using. None of the current (July 2012) Nikon-1 lenses are macro lenses although you can use the FT1 adapter with Nikon-F lenses to get true macro capability.
What is the scene auto selector on the Nikon J3?
The Nikon J3’s Scene Auto Selector is a smart auto mode in which the camera analyses the scene in front of its lens and picks what it thinks is the right mode for that particular scene. The Creative Mode is where you will want to be most of the time. With the mode dial set to this position, you can pick your desired exposure mode from the menu.
Are nikon-1 lenses good for jewelry photography?
None of the current (July 2012) Nikon-1 lenses are macro lenses although you can use the FT1 adapter with Nikon-F lenses to get true macro capability. However you should be able to get reasonably good close-up photographs of jewelry using the J1 or V1 and one of the standard kit lenses – I imagine most people have the 10-30mm lens.
How do I connect my Nikon 1 J3 to my Device?
