Sony Nex-5R User Manual

Sony Nex-5R User Manual  - We love sharing. That's why we are here to share with you.The Sony NEX-5R is a new mid-range compact system camera. Featuring a 16.1 megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor, Fast Hybrid phase- and contrast-detect autofocus system, 49-segment exposure meter and 3-inch, 180° tilting LCD panel with 921,000-dot resolution, the NEX-5R also offers a touch-screen interface with a touch shutter function, built-in Wi-Fi connectivity and Play Memories Camera Apps, an ISO range of 100-25600 and both a mechanical and electronic shutter. The magnesium bodied NEX-5R can also capture fast-moving action at 10fps at full resolution, shoot Full HD 1920 x1080p video as high-quality AVCHD files, and is supplied with a compact clip-on flash that attaches via an accessory terminal. The Sony NEX-5R is available in silver, black or white and costs around £670 / $750 with the 18-55mm f/3.5-6.3 kit lens.

The Sony NEX-5R is outwardly very similar to the older NEX-5N model, so some of the comments that we made about that camera apply equally to the NEX-5R. The NEX-5R's rectangular body shape and blocky grip is less immediately appealing than the retro finesse of an Olympus Pen or modernist curves of the Panasonic G series. With the supplied 18-55mmm kit lens attached the NEX-5R also looks and feels top heavy, and that's without fitting an existing Alpha DSLR lens proper, compatibility offered with pre-existing optics via the LA-EA2 accessory adapter which allows phase-detection AF with almost all of the A-mount lenses. The NEX-5R does undoubtedly feel solid when gripped in the palm, although with the lens attached it's too large for most jacket pockets.

The LCD screen can be tilted backwards by 40 degrees and forwards by 180 degrees for arm’s length self-portraits - if not, unfortunately swung outwards at 90° - to allow for low and high angle compositions we might not have attempted without. Note that fitting the clip-on flash prevents the LCD from being tilted fully forwards. Sony has also included High Definition video shooting at Full HD 1080p at 60fps with stereo sound with the welcome ability to control shutter speed, aperture and exposure compensation during recording. It also features a useful dedicated red camcorder-style video record button for instant thumb-operated video access, while Tracking Focus allows a target object to be selected via the touchscreen LCD, even when the subject is moving, for both stills and video.
