Photo Creativity feature
NEX-3N provides easy access to most Picture Effect settings as well as controls for Background
Defocus, Brightness, Color and Vividness. Just activate Photo Creativity, choose the appropriate
item then adjust while viewing in real-time on the LCD screen. The ability to combine settings
offers nearly unlimited creative control, and lets you compensate for tricky lighting.
Superior Auto mode
Use Superior Auto mode to shoot photos and movies with the ease of a compact digital camera.
In this mode, the camera recognizes the current shooting environment then adjusts settings for
optimal results. Superior Auto also includes Auto HDR and Hand-held Twilight modes, both of
which employ image compositing technology to handle difficult lighting by recording multiple
images at high speed then compositing them to produce the final photo.
Anti-Motion Blur mode
Corrects for subject movement to capture amazingly clean and sharp images in low light. The
camera leverages the large, APS-C image sensor and captures six images in a fraction of a
second. Combining the data from all six creates a single image that minimizes subject blur.
Hand-held Twilight Mode
Get cleaner and sharper nighttime pictures—beyond the capability of traditional cameras—
without using flash or a tripod. The camera leverages the large, APS-C image sensor and
captures six images in a fraction of a second. Combining the data from all six creates a single
image of extraordinary detail and low noise.
Face Detection/Smile Shutter
Set NEX-3N to recognize faces and smiles. Face Detection locates up to eight faces in a
composition then adjusts exposure, white balance and other settings based on these faces. Smile
Shutter — adjustable in three levels — automatically takes a shot when smiles in the scene are at
their brightest.
Creative Style
Tailor the look of photos and movies before shooting. Choose from one of six settings — Standard,
Vivid, Portrait, Landscape, Sunset or Black & White — depending on the scene or your creative
intent.
Speed Priority Continuous mode
Freeze fast-moving subjects by shooting at up to 4 fps. This is the ideal solution for photographing
sports, children at play or other action.
