| Nikon KeyMission 360 |
Nikon has announced its intention to compete in the ever-growing video ‘action cam’ sector and will launch a compact, rugged camera by mid-year. Nikon’s KeyMission 360 the first, says the company, in a series of products – features two lenses and sensors, located front and rear to give a single, full 360-degree image in the UHD 4K video resolution.
The images generated by each of the lens-and-sensor pairs are combined in-camera to create a ‘virtual reality’ (VR) experience, but neither the sensor’s resolution or type, nor the lens focal lengths, have been specified at present. The ruggedised and palm-sized camera body is waterproofed down to 30 minutes – so it’s obviously also dust-proof – and shock-proofed to withstand a drop of two metres. It is also insulated to allow for operation in temperatures down to -10 degrees Celsius.
The KeyMission 360 has built-in WiFi with NFC connectivity so a mobile device such as smartphone or tablet can be used as viewfinder and controller. It also offers Nikon’s SnapBridge ‘always on’ wireless file sharing via BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). It also has a built-in microphone and electronic image stabilisation which can also be app-enabled applied during playback. No other details of the Nikon KeyMission 360 are currently available.
