Complete creative control  

over the entire movie

Unlike most consumer camcorders, 
NEX-5N offers more control over camera 
settings, giving you the ability to carefully 
craft each scene for maximum impact. 
With P/A/S/M modes, you can precisely 
adjust exposure and control defocus, two 
important creative tools that are typically 
performed automatically with camcorders. 
You can also use Creative Style and 
Photo Creativity to emphasize mood or 
completely transform the look of your 
movies. In addition, new Object Tracking 
Focus automatically keeps the subject in 
focus, even when moving.

Audio excellence for capturing  

every sound of the scene

The NEX-5N has a built-in stereo 
microphone that records audio with the 
same accuracy for which Sony is famous, 
and with minimal noise and wind effects. 
The optional Stereo Microphone ECM-SST1 
can be attached to the camera’s Smart 
Accessory Terminal 2 to provide directional 
audio coverage at either 90° or 120°.

Lightweight, compact clip-on  

LCD monitor (optional)

playback with the external LCD Monitor
