The Sony Alpha NEX-5T Mirrorless Digital Camera is a versatile and compact mirrorless camera that features a 16.1 megapixel APS-C-sized Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor and BIONZ image processor to produce high resolution still images and full HD 1080i/p video in multiple frame rates with marked low-light quality and sensitivity to ISO 25600. The image processor also contributes greatly to minimizing overall noise levels and also affords a wealth of speed throughout the camera for recording up to 10 fps in Speed Priority Continuous mode.
This imaging performance is greatly benefited by the inclusion of a Fast Hybrid AF system that combines the best assets of both phase- and contrast-detection focusing methods for focus performance that is equally fast and precise. The phase-detection method is ideal for quickly acquiring focus and tracking moving subjects while the contrast-detection method ensures critical sharpness and detail.
To support live view monitoring, image playback, and menu navigation, a 3.0" 921.6k-dot touchscreen LCD monitor is integrated into the NEX-5T and utilizes a tilting design to better serve working from both high and low viewing angles. The touchscreen interface helps to more easily facilitate working with an intuitive menu structure to access a host of camera features, including Picture Effects, Auto HDR mode, Auto Object Framing, and for connecting to mobile devices using built-in Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity.
