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.
