Post Christmas Brussels with a Nikon V1


When the Turkey and Christmas pud start to repeat on you. I can recomend jumping on the Eurostar and decamping to Brussels for a slightly alternative post Christmas experience. Which is what we did on boxing day although we did book the trip 2 months earlier. As far as cameras where concerned I was travelling light with a Nikon V1 with the 10mm pancake lens. Having not managed to find a flash unit for the V1 it was going to be a good test for its low light capabilities and as you you can see by the shots it performed superbly. With settings set at auto ISO, 100-3200 and exposure mode on aperture auto and metering set to spot. So apart from changing the Exposure compensation I kept the same settings throughout my stay in Brussels. The Nikon V1 uses the same battery as in the Nikon D7000 so in the smaller Nikon V1 with less power draining capabilities battery life is extensive. So less need for extra batteries and chargers.
Video preformance was also excellent even in the dark conditions auto focus worked fine with little or no hunting.
