Among mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras as
of August 2011. Continuous speed varies depending
on shooting conditions and memory cards. Focus
and exposure are locked at the first shot.
E 55-210mm F4.5-6.3 OSS (SEL55210), 1/250 sec., F7.1, ISO 400, Auto white balance
Minimal release time lag
for lightning-quick response
Life’s moments can slip away in the blink of
an eye so we decreased the release time
lag to an astounding 0.02 sec.—five times
faster than NEX-5 and the world’s fastest
among interchangeable-lens cameras*.
With response this quick, you now have the
means to instantly capture spontaneous
movement since there is virtually no delay
when pressing the shutter.
Fulltime, wide-coverage autofocus
for tack-sharp images
The 25-point, contrast-detection AF delivers
precise results for both photos and movies.
The AF points are strategically placed to
cover a wide area of the frame, making it
easier to change composition and track
moving subjects—while maintaining focus.
Two autofocus modes—Single-shot AF
(AF-S) and Continuous AF (AF-C)—along
with three Autofocus Area settings—25-
point Multi, user-selectable Flexible Spot
and Center—utilize an advanced new AF
algorithm for outstanding performance
and speed. When autofocus is not
desired, you can switch to Manual Focus
(MF) or Direct Manual Focus (DMF).
Face Registration for catching
familiar faces at their best
NEX-5N comes with new Face Registration,
intelligent technology based on Sony’s
renowned Face Detection. This lets you
register up to eight faces, which the
camera instantly recognizes and uses as
the basis for adjusting focus, exposure,
image processing and flash output—the
perfect way to capture people at their
most beautiful best. Face Registration can
combine with Smile Shutter™ technology
so that all you have to do is point the
camera at a friendly smile and let NEX-5N
do the rest!
Focus made one-touch simple,
even on moving subjects
The new touch screen puts focus at your
fingertips. Just touch a subject on the LCD
display and NEX-5N focuses on it for crisp,
clear photos and movies. And when used
with Sony’s new Object Tracking Focus
function, focus locks onto the subject,
keeping even moving subjects in sharp
focus. Tracking Focus is the hassle-free way
to maintain focus, even when zooming or
changing composition.
Decisive moments captured
at a blazing 10 fps
High-speed shooting at up to 10 frames
per second—the world’s fastest*—in Speed
Priority Continuous mode is ideal for
capturing fast-breaking action. Powerful
BIONZ processing combines with rapid data
readout to process the 16.1 megapixels
output from the Exmor image sensor. In
addition, the 10-second self-timer can shoot
up to three shots at a time.
