The equipment is supported with system of
cross–bred focusing with 99 grades and 25 contrastively detective areas that
make speed become faster. Camera can shoot with 10 picture frames/second and
focus continuously. This speed is nearly similar to professional camera.
Efficiency of focusing becomes excellent due to Fast Hybrid AF system and it
can shoot continuously with 10 picture frames/second. In addition, it can focus
for each photograph continuously (AF Tracking). Process of handling photographs
isn’t as good as DRSL, but its efficiency is higher than point and shot camera.

Hybrid AF system
Sweep panorama is the first feature that we
should mention to. Although photograph’s quality is not perfect, it makes users
satisfy to record large contexts. In the past, people would take 3 photographs
and then combined them. However, nowadays, people only need to press functional
button and follow arrow’s direction.
The ability of shooting 20-30 types in 5-6
seconds depends on sweeping speed and it takes less than 2 seconds to combine
them to panorama photograph. The next function is Handheld Twilight that is
used to shoot dusk. It allows shooting a lot of photographs and combing them
together and the ability of eliminating noise to create photographs with best
quality.
However, some colors aren’t exact. For
example, green is often colored, yellow seems to be darker or pink is brighter
than usual. At present, compact or DSRL camera cannot overcome wrong problem of
color, so we can accept this thing.
NEX-5R is the first separated lens of Sony
that integrates standard Wi-Fi with 802.11b/g. In addition, it also has Play
Memories Camera Apps that is plentiful. To download application, users must
have an account on Sony Entertainment Network. Some typical applications are
Smart Remote Control, Picture Effect, Direct Upload….
NEX-5R
is the first separated lens of Sony that integrates standard Wi-Fi with
802.11b/g.
This function of connecting online helps
users control to shoot from a distance with Smart Remote Control application by
smartphones (using Android OS or iOS), share photographs through network or
store with Direct Upload. Users can use standard DLNA to connect equipment in
family’s entertaining system to broadcast photographs or video. When we control
from a distance by using telephone, photograph’s parameter doesn’t appear.
Moreover, in all of the modes, users can
set up ISO to adjust min, max. This is an interesting function in controlling
photograph’s quality, especially to night because when ISO increases to 1,600,
it will cause serious noise.
5R’s ISO range stretches like high-ranking
80-25, 600 DSLR camera. Moreover, it has 16.1 megapixel sensor to eliminate.
It can record standard Full HD video, format
16.1 megapixels and its speed can reach to 60 picture frames/second. It has
higher quality than cameras that have the same type. If users format MP4,
picture frames’ speed is 30 picture frames/second and has 1,440x1,080 pixel
resolution.
Sony Nex-5R is equipped with Sony Nex-5R
battery that has 1,080 mAh capacity. It is similar to Sony SLT-A37 that
appeared in the last May. However, charging battery is a complex problem because
it doesn’t have equipment that is only spent charging. Users must use equipment
to convert and charge battery through micro USB gate. When we charge battery
fully, battery can be used to shoot about 300 times, nearly 22 minutes to
record HD video. However, the number can change when people use Wi-Fi or adjust
to camera. Camera is rather hot if it is used continuously. When camera alert
that battery is out of, users should turn off camera and meet late state. In
this situation, camera doesn’t turn off immediately, but it continuously runs
application for a while before turning off completely.
Image quality
The quality of recorded NEX-5R image is
rather good although it is set up with high ISO. The ability of bright balance
is good and color is warm and rather beautiful on 3-inch screen.
Photograph
is taken from ISO3,200. Although it has a lot of noise, this thing can be
accepted.
At
ISO 25,600 – cropped photograph
At
ISO 200- cropped photograph
Quality
of image that is recorded from available effects is rather good. This is
photograph that uses white-black effect.
Color
is relatively good but it can easily make color flat at high ISO.
Panorama
photograph brings good quality. It has distortion, but photograph’s details are
stable.
Photograph
is taken in the evening. It doesn’t use supportive equipment to prevent
shaking, so the quality of recorded photographs is low.
Video quality
When we use Sony NEX-5R to record video
with AVCHD formatting, the maximum resolution is 1,920x1,080 pixels; it takes 50 picture frames/second
and 1,440x1,080 pixels. When we record with MP4 formatting, it will take 25
picture frames/second.
Users can use professional Movie button on
camera’s body instead of choosing recording mode in Menu.
Movie
button is convenient for recording video.
We tested to record video under sunlight,
NEX-5R processed light and unexpected changes rather well. Quality of recording
sound is not really excellent. It has interference but we can accept it.
We tested to record video with light,
image’s quality is good, but it’s difficult in focusing.
