NEX-5K/B

The performance of a DSLR, in about half the size and weight.5 The NEX-5 is the interchangeable lens
camera that goes wherever you do. Enjoy Full HD 1080/60i movies,2 astounding low-light pictures,
continuous shooting up to 7 fps, incredible panorama shots, and Live View on a tilting 3.0-inch6 LCD.
Smallest in class
This is the world's smallest
interchangeable lens digital still
camera (as of April 2010). We removed
the conventional mirror box, AF sensor
and viewfinder, reducing the "flange
back" distance from 44.5 mm to 18
mm. The result has all the quality of an
DSLR, but is 48% smaller and 49%
lighter than our 230.
Interchangeable lenses
Compatible with Sony's E-mount series
of smaller, lighter lenses designed
specifically for compact
interchangeable lens cameras. Opens
up a world of creative options.
APS-C size HD image sensor
The same sensor format that Sony
builds into the full-sized DSLRs. With 13
times the area of the typical3 image
sensor, APS-C makes the difference
between "snapshots" and
"photographs," delivering an
exceptional combination of high
resolution, high sensitivity and
gorgeous, blurred backgrounds.
First in class with 1080/60i movies
This is the world's first interchangeable
lens still camera with 1080/60i AVCHD
Full HD, exactly the same resolution and
frame rate as most broadcast and
cable HDTV channels. Records in
1080/60i AVCHD format, 1080/30p
high definition in PC-friendly MP4
format and standard definition
480/30p in MP4 format.2
14.2 megapixel resolution
You get incredible detail and gorgeous
enlargements. Thanks to the APS-C
sensor size and Sony Exmor APS HD
CMOS technology, the camera
achieves high resolution with no
penalty in low-light sensitivity or sensor
noise.

Up to 7 frames per second


Capture the decisive moment in sports
and get the ideal baby photo. Up to 7
fps continuous shooting at full 14.2 MP
resolution with exposure and focus fixed
at the first frame. Standard continuous
shooting at up to 2.3 fps.
ISO 12800 sensitivity
Incredibly clear low-light pictures
without sacrificing detail. As of April
2010, this is best-in-class performance,
made possible by low-noise Exmor
APS HD CMOS image sensor and
refined BIONZ image processor.
Sweep Panorama
Capture expansive landscapes
automatically. Press the shutter, sweep
vertically or horizontally. The camera
does the rest, continuously shooting
images and stitching them together. Up
to 23 MP image size. Up to 202 degrees
maximum sweep angle (16mm focal
length).
3D Panorama
Captures scenic vistas in spectacular
3D. As you sweep across the
panorama, the camera records
separate right-eye and left-eye images
that make landscapes come alive on
your 3D television.14
Anti Motion Blur mode
Corrects for subject movement to
capture amazingly clean and sharp
images in low light. The camera
leverages the large, APS-C image
sensor and captures six images in a
fraction of a second. Combining the
data from all six creates a single image
that minimizes subject blur.
Hand-held Twilight Mode
Corrects for subject movement to
capture amazingly clean and sharp
images in low light. The camera
leverages the large, APS-C image
sensor and captures six images in a
fraction of a second. Combining the
data from all six creates a single image
that minimizes subject blur.

Auto HDR built into camera


High Dynamic Range (HDR)
photography captures more scene
contrast than a single exposure can
handle by combining the best highlight
detail from one shot and the best
shadow detail from another for one
incredible shot. Until recently, you
needed a computer and editing
software. Sony builds HDR in. Handles
severe backlighting and other highcontrast scenes. Captures in a split
second. (Recommended for still
subjects.)
Live View LCD
The LCD monitor is active full-time for
composing shots. Provides a what-yousee-is-what-you-get preview of white
balance, focus, depth of field, exposure
and 100% framing accuracy, plus
informative on-screen displays.
Tiltable 3 LCD screen6
Empowers your photography with a
different point or view. Tilts down 45
and up 80 to frame high- and lowangle shots that would otherwise be hitor-miss.
920K pixel TruBlack LCD screen
Sony's Xtra Fine LCD monitor has bestin-class resolution (as of April 2010). The
TruBlack screen includes a special
resin layer to suppress internal
reflections, increase contrast compared
to conventional LCDs. Sunny Weather
mode boosts visibility even further in
bright sunlight.
