16.1 MP 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 typical point-and-shoot image sensor, 
APS-C sensor size makes the difference between “snapshots” and “photographs,” delivering an exceptional combination of high 
resolution, high sensitivity and gorgeous, blurred backgrounds.
Fast Hybrid AF
Sony’s advanced Fast Hybrid AF combines two technologies for outstanding performance: Phase detection auto focus for quick 
response that is ideal when tracking fast-moving subjects and contrast-detection auto focus for added precision.  A perfect match 
that delivers optimal Auto Focus for fast, precise focusing in any scene.

180-degree tilt-able 3.0” Touch LCD
The NEX-5R is equipped with a tilt-able LCD screen that flips up 180-degrees without sacrificing the compactness for which the 5-series 
is renowned for.  This makes taking great self-portraits incredibly easy since users can precisely compose shots, choosing to include 
people or objects in the frame for more satisfying results.
Control Dial
Control dial, Fn (function) button and touch screen (including touch shutter function) greatly facilitate operation and getting the shot 
that much easier.

and each give you a new and exciting way to make your images and videos pop.
6-image layering
The camera leverages the large, APS-C image sensor and captures six images in a fraction of a second.  The camera then combines 
the data from the 6 different images up to ISO 25600 to create a single image. This method is used to control blur in Anti-Motion Blur 
mode or to get cleaner, sharper nighttime pictures in Hand-held Twilight mode.
Photo Creativity Touch interface
The Photo Creativity touch interface enables you to easily enjoy the creative expression of SLR-quality digital imaging without the 
complicated settings.  Changes can be easily made using the control dial with results seen in real time on the LCD.  Settings include; 
Background Defocus, Brightness, Color, Vividness and most Picture Effects.

Simply photograph a person and Auto Portrait Framing will save an additional, optimally framed image in portrait or landscape 
orientation. Combining Face Detection and By Pixel Super Resolution technologies with rule of thirds, Auto Portrait Framing provides 
beautifully composed and appealingly balanced full resolution portraits.
Clear Image Zoom
Utilizing Sony’s exclusive By Pixel Super Resolution Technology, Clear Image Zoom increases the effective focal length of your lens up 
to 2x by digitally magnifying the center of your image with nearly imperceptible degradation. It virtually doubles the effective focal 
length of whatever lens you’re using providing greater shooting flexibility.
Convenient USB charging
Easily recharge the camera via USB charging.  Simply connect the bundled USB cable and recharge the battery without removing it 
from the camera, either via AC outlet or PC connection.
