Advancements that bring
photographs to life
Sweep Panorama™ mode,
now available in eye-popping 3D
Capture all the splendor of a majestic
landscape or electric cityscape with
Sweep Panorama mode. In this mode,
gently sweep the camera in a smooth
arc while shooting, either side-to-side
or up/down. NEX-5N takes a series of
shots then stitches them together into
a seamless, high-resolution panoramic
photo ready for large-format printing or
playback on HDTV. And now there’s 3D
Sweep Panorama mode, which produces
dynamic 3D panoramas for playback on
3D-compatible HDTVs*.
Hand-held Twilight mode for
dazzling, low-noise night shots
Discover how easy it is to produce night
shots with all the vibrancy of the original
scene. In Hand-held Twilight mode,
NEX-5N fires off six photos at high speed and
composites them to create one low-noise
photo. Thanks to the excellent performance
of the Exmor™ sensor and BIONZ
®
image
processing, your night shots will sparkle
with markedly reduced graininess and
noise without the need for a tripod.
Anti Motion Blur mode for
low-light and telephoto shots
Anti Motion Blur mode fully leverages
Sony's image analysis and compositing
technologies. After taking six shots at
high speed, NEX-5N aligns and combines
them into a single photo. This mode is
ideal when long shutter speeds can result
in blurry photos, such as when shooting
in dimly lit settings or at telephoto focal
lengths. It can also improve portraits by
eliminating the need for flash.
Auto HDR mode for photos
with a realism you can feel
Delight in the remarkable depth and
realism that Auto HDR mode lends photos.
This mode is ideal for capturing dramatically
lit scenes that are often difficult to record
when shooting conventionally due to great
variances in light and shadow. NEX-5N
takes three shots at different exposures—
one each for highlights, mid tones and
shadows—then digitally combines them
into one photo, which is saved along with
the mid-tone exposure. For enhanced
creative control over a wide range of
lighting situations, you can set the HDR
exposure range to cover six steps, from
1 EV to 6 EV.
D-Range Optimizer for nicely
balanced shadows and highlights
Easily handle tricky lighting like backlit
subjects with D-Range Optimizer (DRO).
Like Auto HDR, this intelligent feature
helps capture high-contrast scenes in
photos that closely resemble the range
of lighting as perceived by the human
eye. But unlike Auto HDR, DRO can also
be used for shooting moving subjects
and high-speed continuous shooting.
Set it to Auto and let NEX-5N decide the
appropriate optimization or manually
select from five levels.
