Patent Details Translated
The present invention relates to an imaging apparatus.
A technique for determining exposure by referring to luminance in an AF (autofocus) area is known
The user selects the photometry mode by the photometry mode selection unit 216. The user can select the desired photometry mode by operating the photometry mode selection unit. However, in the camera control unit 201, a plurality of photometry methods are sequentially executed.
Examples of photometry modes that can be selected by the user include multi-pattern photometry and highlight-weighted photometry.
Multi-pattern metering is a mode in which metering is performed for each of a plurality of areas set on the screen, and final exposure is determined based on information such as luminance distribution, color, distance, and composition of the subject.
Highlight-weighted metering is a mode in which exposure is mainly determined so that highlights on the screen have appropriate brightness.
In general, when exposure control is performed so that a highlight portion in a screen has an appropriate brightness, exposure is darker in the highlight-weighted metering method than in multi-pattern metering.

From the patents it’s look Nikon is actively working their own version of DPAF sensors and sooner or later we will have new breed of Nikon sensors in upcoming Mirrorless cameras.
From patents (Translated)
To provide a focus detection device with which it is possible to detect a focus with high accuracy without being affected by color of light.SOLUTION: A focus detection device comprises: a phase difference detection unit for detecting phase difference by using a plurality of first pixels for outputting a pair of first signals corresponding to the luminous amount of a first color, a plurality of second pixels for outputting a pair of second signals corresponding to the luminous amount of a second color, and phase difference in the pair of first signals, or the pair of second signals; and a defocus amount calculation unit for calculating a defocus amount by using a first coefficient corresponding to the first color when the phase difference is detected by using the pair of first signals, and calculating a defocus amount by using a second coefficient corresponding to the second color when the phase difference is detected by using the pair of second signals.

Let’s talk about the list of possible Upcoming Nikon DSLR and Mirrorless of 2020 or 2021.

Nikon is working to improve lens based user interlace in camera with a dedicated Lens Menus options which will include all the lens related settings / options in a single menu page.
Patent Details
The present invention relates to an imaging device.
In interchangeable cameras such as single-lens reflex digital cameras, it is necessary to make settings related to the attached lens on the camera side, but depending on the type of interchangeable lens (for example, whether or not it has an aperture ring) The setting items are different, so when changing to a different type of lens, the setting must be changed each time. Patent Document 1 describes a camera in which a lens can be replaced, in which the presence or absence of a diaphragm ring mounted on an interchangeable lens is determined by the camera, and the operation menu of the camera body is optimized according to the presence or absence of the diaphragm ring. .
The lens menu will guide you the type of lens you are using and if you are using a FX lens in DX format camera you will get all the details how much Magnification ratio you will be getting while using FX lens in DX Camera. And if you are mounting FX Lens in DX camera then you will get all details about crop factor and resolution loss.
This patent also indicate Nikon may minimize the presence of physicals button on the lens surface. Having less function button on lens will reduce the cost and will also improve the durability of the lens.
We will update you soon as we get any new information.

No IBIS
Fixed EVF (not removable EVF as described in the latest design patents)
New Nikon EN-EL25 battery
We have seen the designs of the camera but sources of the rumor mill suggest the camera will look somehow similar to Nikon Z1 prototype. So, at this moment we are not so confirmed about the designs.

In general 10-15 days prior to official announcement we generally get lot of lakes, such as specs and images of the upcoming camera. So, of-course either Nikon is doing everything very secretly and very limited of people are known to APS-C Mirrorless project OR they are preparing for a development announcement.

Nikon N1912 is in announcement pipeline and most probably the announcement may happen in next few months. But it’s not a Regular FX format Mirrorless camera or a FX / DX DSLR. From, the initial set of details available to us, most probably the Nikon N1912 is a DX format mirrorless camera.
Trusted Japanese sources suggest the design of the camera is compact and uses a brand new battery EN-EL25 (7.6V, 1120mAh), registered few weeks ago in Russia. We have received some strong hints past that Nikon is working of a DX format Mirrorless camera with Z-Mount. But, according to a patent [excursive to Thenewcamera] Nikon is also working on a brand new pro-compact line of cameras also, so we have to wait for confirmation what actually coming next to us.
