Nikon 1J1 only shoots in QuickTime?

I have a Nikon 1 J1 and I record video quite a bit, but I can't seem to figure out why it will only shoot QuickTime files. I was under the impression, it could shoot RAW. I've gone through the settings many, many times. Maybe I was wrong and it can only do QuickTime? Also when ever I turn off the camera and turn it back on it always starts up in the language settings, which is pretty fricking annoying.

RAW stills yes. RAW video no.

B K is 100% correct

The issue with your camera always starting in the Language screen, probably means that you have yet to set your camera's date and time.

Go into the Setup menu and set up your camera.

Your camera shoots in either MPEG-4, H.264 video formats. Again, you need to set that up in your Setup menu

You might try VLC player, it's free and can view your mpg4 files.

RAW is for still photos.
Quick Time is for videos.

Read the manual - you're making a couple of basic mistakes because you obviously haven't.
