Review on Camera Nikon 1 J1 Kit 1 Nikkor 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 VR, white/black by Stanisaw Augustynowi ᠌

I will write only what others have not noted: 1) the zoom lens has a "traveling" position, mechanically different from the "working" one. Translation from one to another is carried out by pressing the mechanical button and turning the zoom ring, followed by mechanical fixation. This feature is completely uncharacteristic for lenses, and raises concerns in terms of its long-term reliability. After all, this action must be performed at the beginning of each shooting and at its end. 2) video quality is good, but shooting is only in NTSC (1080i60, 1080p30, 720p60 modes), there are no PAL 50i and 25p modes. On a computer, this usually does not interfere with watching video (but still it also depends on the monitor's refresh rate), but when played on most TVs (and through HD-media players) in 2022 with a refresh rate of 50 and 100 Hz (PAL mode), video flickering on the screen will be significant. If captured clips are combined in a video editor on a PAL timeline with other clips shot by video cameras in PAL mode, frame rate conversion will occur in the video editor with a corresponding deterioration in quality, blurring and flickering. 3) one more note to the video - autoexposure during video shooting slows down with a large range of changes in the brightness of the scene, and is very sensitive to small changes in brightness. As a result, when you move the lens from the interior space of the room to the window, then you are still forced to observe a completely illuminated white frame for another 5 seconds, but when you move the shooting, say, from a close-up of a person to the landscape surrounding him (the change in scene illumination is not very significant) , autoexposure struggles to find the new correct value. As a result, we observe meaningless flashes of brightness (flicker). In general, the camera is good, it will satisfy 95% of consumers.
