IN AN INSTANT

Life moves pretty fast, and if you – or your camera – aren’t ready then you’re sure to miss those unforgettable shots. The Alpha NEX-5R interchangeable lens camera comes equipped with Sony’s advanced Fast Hybrid AF so you’re able to capture fast-moving subjects with crystal-clear results.

Standard autofocus systems will sometimes focus on a high-contrast background, so your subject might appear blurry against a clear and vibrant backdrop. The Fast Hybrid AF combines two technologies: Contrast-Detection Autofocus and Phase Detection Autofocus so it’s designed to keep your subject constantly in focus. The result is crisp and clear shots that will make you look like a pro.

ADVANCED CONTROL TAKES YOUR CREATIVITY TO THE NEXT LEVEL

The Sony Alpha NEX-5R interchangeable lens camera comes loaded with DSLR-style features, but it’s a camera that both beginners and pros will love. The 16.1MP Exmor sensor is the same one that Sony uses in their DSLR cameras, so you can be sure to capture beautiful shots in every lighting situation. Tracking Focus will closely follow your subject even if they turn away from the camera, while the Auto Portrait Framing feature gives you perfectly composed portrait shots.

Tilt the 3” LCD touch screen up to 180 degrees to snap self-portraits or capture hard-to-get shots. When you’re done, the Photo Creativity touch interface helps you
get really creative with a selection of DSLR-style imaging that you can play with right on the screen.
You can defocus the background, add fun picture effects, or adjust the brightness, colour, and vividness of every shot.
