Advancements that bring photographs to life E 16mm F2.8 (SEL16F28), 1/500 sec., F3.2, ISO 200, Auto white balance 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*. * Requires HDMI® cable (at least 10.2 Gbps) and 3D glasses (sold separately). Note: Sweep Panorama mode typically produces best results when shooting at wide-angle focal lengths. 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.
