Easy operation a touch
away on the LCD monitor
NEX-5N brings the easy familiarity of
touch-screen operation to the realm
of full-featured, interchangeable-lens
cameras. Its electrostatic touch-screen
LCD monitor is wonderfully responsive and
adds a new level of comfort. All it takes is
a light flick or press to navigate menus or
change settings. Adjusting, shooting and
viewing can all be performed intuitively
via the touch screen, which also works in
combination with the control wheel and
context-sensitive soft keys.
Photo Creativity, now with
touch-screen convenience
For those whose artistic aspirations exceed
their photographic knowledge, there is
Photo Creativity—a simple way to access
the vast array of creative modes. And
now with the convenient touch screen,
Photo Creativity is easier than ever. While
in intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode, just press
an icon to choose the mode, then tap or
slide your finger on the display to modify
settings. Changes to Brightness, Color,
Vividness, Background Defocus and Picture
Effect settings are displayed in real-time,
giving you the opportunity to tweak the
look of photos and movies to match your
creative urge*.
Background defocus control
for emphasizing subjects
The ability to control background
defocus via the lens aperture is one of
the advantages of interchangeable-lens
cameras. NEX-5N makes it easy to utilize
this technique. Just compose the shot,
use the control wheel or touch screen
to achieve the right amount of defocus,
then shoot. It’s that easy!
Exposure, white balance and
saturation for realistic images
Properly adjusting Brightness (exposure),
Color (white balance) and Vividness
(saturation) makes photos and movies
come alive with a realism that is nothing
short of breathtaking. NEX-5N makes this
easy, allowing you to preview results so
you never have to guess as to how the
final image will look.
Combining effects for total
control of the final look
For added creative control, you can
combine and preview multiple settings
and effects simultaneously. This expands
photographic expression by giving you
the means to explore a variety of looks
before taking the shot.
Scene Selection for perfect
results anytime, anywhere
Eight Scene Selection modes allow you
to automatically adjust basic shooting
parameters like aperture, shutter speed, white
balance and others to match the scene. A
wide range of settings—Portrait, Sports Action,
Macro, Landscape, Sunset, Night View, Night
Portrait and Hand-held Twilight—cover just
about any shooting situation.
Point-and-shoot convenience
with iAuto mode
Despite its many advanced functions for
serious photography, NEX-5N also takes
great snaps. Just select iAuto mode and
let the camera do the rest, automatically
adjusting settings to match the scene.
A fun, carefree way to shoot that makes
it easy for anyone to obtain beautiful
photos and movies.
Operation tailored to fit
your own shooting style
Streamline shooting operations by
configuring NEX-5N according to how
you shoot. When using P/A/S/M modes,
you can get instant access to frequently
used settings by customizing controls. Soft
key C can be assigned up to five different
functions, while the Right key and Soft key
B can be assigned one function each*.
