The Nikon CX format is a image sensor format by Nikon for the Nikon 1 series MILCs featuring the Nikon 1 mount bayonet and lenses. With 2.7 times crop factor being approximately 13.2 x 8.8mm2[1] it considerably increases the depth of field by 2.90 stops (2.7 times crop factor) compared to an 35mm FX camera with the same angle of view. The format was created September 2011 by Nikon for its mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras, the Nikon 1 series.
It is the third format from Nikon after the Nikon DX format and the full-frame Nikon FX format.
