A fuse may be blown like on J2 cameras.

Please do not disassemble/remove the rear lens group, you will lose the adjustment from the factory. I was able to successfully repair the coil, used UHU Endfest, needed to fix the flat flex cable ...

Hello, did you find a solution ? Kindly Regards.

In contrast Sony RX100 IV* uses SD cards, has a built in pop out EVF and a flip out screen too and can do 4K video. *came out around the same time as the J5 Kudos J5 has touch screen, RX100 I to V ...

Hello, j5 does not have an IR sensor. ;-) Regards.

It resets after I took a picture. It's annoying as heck when I do series of photographs with different apertures on a tripod. Every other camera I own keeps the setting.

It is a sacrilege to treat Nikon 1 equipment like this. ;-)

This is a Li-Mn coin cell, which is recharged by the camera. Seiko MS621FE. It is not unusual for these cells to break down.

I wish, someone could hack the J5 firmware. 4K/25fps sould be possible. I mean, camera should be capable of processing and saving 25 4K-frames with low(est) compression. I'm not asking the camera ...
