Sony NEX-F3K/B BROCHURE

NEX-F3K/B

The performance of a DSLR in about half the size and weight. With a
new 180° tilt screen, the NEX-F3 makes taking self-portraits easy and
intuitive. Enjoy gorgeous HD movies,
continuous shooting up to 5.5 fps, incredible panorama shots, and Live
View on a 3.0-inch LCD.

16.1 MP APS-C size HD image sensor

The same sensor format that Sony builds into the full-sized α DSLRs. With 13 times the area of the
typical point-and-shoot image sensor, APS-C makes the dierence between “snapshots” and
“photographs,” delivering an exceptional combination of high resolution, high sensitivity and
gorgeous, blurred backgrounds.

BIONZ® image processor

The brains of the camera is a rened version of Sony’s BIONZ image processor. Its chroma noise
reduction delivers high-resolution, low-noise photos even at ISO 16000 sensitivity. Also enables fast
processing for up to 5.5 fps continuous shooting of data-intensive 16.1 megapixel images, 2D/3D
Sweep Panorama™ modes and 6 image layering.

ISO 200 - 16000 sensitivity

The Exmor™ APS HD CMOS sensor and BIONZ image processing engine combine to ensure clear
imaging with reduced noise. In addition to an ISO AUTO range of ISO 200 - 3200, user-selectable
sensitivity of up to ISO 16000 is oered, making it possible to capture low-light photos with
reduced blur using fast shutter speeds.

Full HD 1080/60i/24p movies

Record super smooth 1080 Full HD Video in either 60i or 24p frames per second. Records in your
choice of 1080/60i or 24p AVCHD™ format or in PC-friendly 1080/30p MP4 format.

Built-in ash

Perfect when an extra burst of light is needed to get the shot, the built-in Guide Number 6* ash
combines with high ISO sensitivity to enable shooting in just about any setting.

180° tiltable 3.0" LCD

Self-portraits made easy 180° tiltable 3.0” Xtra Fine LCD screen and 3-second count down timer

Up to 5.5 frames per second

Capture the decisive moment in sports and get the ideal baby photo. Up to 5.5 fps continuous
shooting at full 16.1 MP resolution with exposure and focus xed at the rst frame. Standard
continuous shooting at up to 2.5 fps.

Convenient USB charging

Easily recharge the NEX-F3 via USB charging

Live View LCD

The LCD monitor is active full-time for composing shots. Provides a what-you-see-is-what-you­get preview of white balance, focus, depth of eld, exposure and 100% framing accuracy, plus
informative on-screen displays.

On-screen Help Guide

Provides a ready-reference that explains the camera’s modes and settings. It walks through
the camera’s operation so you get the best shot. Helps you advance from basic operation to
greater sophistication.

Control Wheel + Customizable So Keys

Unlike cameras that bristle with knobs, buttons and dials, the NEX-F3 features a simple turn-and­click Control Wheel and context-sensitive So Keys. It’s elegant, uncluttered and intuitive.
