Primer: Best Flash Settings for Nikon 1 V1

Summary

A Blurred Flash Image

Among the things that aggravates the long time DSLR user is the way in which the SB-N5 Speedlight performs with the Nikon 1 V1. You can use this camera is Smart Scene Selection mode with an auto sensitivity of A3200 (i.e. ISO 100 to ISO 3200) but if you want very consist results you need to switch over the S – Shutter Priority mode and choose a sensitivity of ISO 800 with a shutter speed of either 1/30 sec. or even 1/60 sec. if you want to stop motion.

Here is a PDF primer that describes the problem in detail with recommendations and the resultant photographs:
