Opening the era of remote control shooting Sony micro-single NEX-5T evaluation

IT168 evaluation friends get together and take photos together. as a photographer, why can't you always appear in the picture? Girls take selfies, don't want to take the same headshots, but want to pat the beautiful back. Why do they always need help from others? The photos in the camera have to be transmitted to the mobile phone. Why does the Wi-Fi function of a nominally simple and easy-to-use camera always have to input the password over and over again? Do we have to be willing to put up with these helplessness just because we ask for more photography skills? The NFC function of Sony micro-single NEX-5T allows you to bravely say no to the above questions!

▲ Start the evaluation of Sony micro-single NEX-5T in the era of remote shooting

Although all the above are jokes, it is really a problem that has been bothering me for a long time. Sony's latest NEX-5T is a camera with NFC function. As long as there is a NEX-5T and a smart phone, all the problems will be solved.

Tips for buying NEX-5T:

When NEX-5T comes into the market, the most concerned question is definitely: Is it worth buying compared with NEX-5R?

In fact, frankly speaking, most of the configurations of NEX-5T and NEX-5R are the same, and their performances are also the same, such as resolution, high sensitivity, control and so on. The main upgrade point of NEX-5T is NFC. At present, the price of NEX-5T kit is 4188 yuan, and that of NEX-5R kit is 3699 yuan, and the price difference is 5 yuan. My suggestion is that if you are not in a hurry to buy a digital camera, you might as well wait until the price of NEX-5T is reduced to about 4 yuan. After all, the NEX-5T equipped with NFC has higher playability and good picture quality, and you will definitely not regret buying it. And it's coming to the eleventh, and it will definitely usher in the overall price reduction of e-commerce, which is a good time to start buying cameras.

The appearance is basically the same as NEX-5R. Let's take a look at the appearance of NEX-5T.

Summary: The appearance of NEX-5T is basically the same as that of NEX-5R, and it still maintains a small figure and three colors of white, black and silver. A Fn custom button has been added to make the control more convenient.

wireless function upgrade NFC remote control &; Share

The biggest improvement of NEX-5T is the addition of NFC function, and some users may not know much about the relationship between NFC and Wi-Fi. To put it simply, when using Wi-Fi, you need to use your mobile phone to join the camera's wireless network, enter a password and a series of steps. The process is very cumbersome. If you use NFC, you can directly connect with the camera with a light touch, and then the remote control and sharing are completed through Wi-Fi. NFC is just a way to quickly establish a connection.

▲NFC function

The NFC of NEX-5T can realize two functions: one-touch remote control and one-touch sharing. Let me give you a detailed demonstration.

One-touch remote control

No matter which function is used, we need to download an application called Play Memories Mobile on the mobile phone first, as shown in the red box in the figure below.

▲ turn on the NFC function of the phone

and then turn on the NFC function of the phone.

▲ Touch the camera with the mobile phone

Adjust the camera to the shooting interface, and then touch it gently with the mobile phone and camera.

▲ Connect the phone with the camera

At this step, we can see that the phone has been connected with the camera, and we can see the pictures taken by the camera in the phone. The whole process is relaxed and casual, and I don't know how much time is saved compared with Wi-Fi password input.

▲ You can only adjust the exposure compensation with your mobile phone

But what makes people speechless is that when NEX-5T is linked to your mobile phone for remote shooting, you can only adjust the exposure compensation with your mobile phone! And you can't touch the phone screen to focus! What kind of trouble is this! ! Moreover, the time lag of mobile phone remote control is obvious, which really worries me, an impatient editor.

Take a look at my selfie. When you take a remote control, a small photo will be automatically copied to your mobile phone. The photo above is copied to the mobile phone.

Of course, I definitely want to share my photos with my friends in the first time, so my friends said beautifully? This is also called a selfie. Did he take it? . Haha, a sense of pride arises spontaneously!

one-touch sharing

after watching one-touch control, let's take a look at one-touch sharing. It's easier to share at the touch. Sometimes we really can't stand the delay when shooting remotely with our mobile phones, but we want to send photos to our friends to share. At this time, sharing at the touch comes in handy. The control process of one-touch sharing is basically the same as that of one-touch remote control, except that you need to adjust the camera to the playback state in advance.

▲ Adjust the camera to the playback interface, and then touch the camera with your mobile phone

▲ The photo will be copied to your mobile phone

In just two simple steps, the photo will be copied to your mobile phone.

summary: NFC function can really greatly improve the efficiency of Wi-Fi control, and it is also very convenient and simple to use. However, there are some problems in the process of remote shooting: firstly, the mobile phone can only adjust the exposure compensation, but it can't touch the mobile phone to focus, which is far from enough for some users, and the problem of time lag in remote shooting also needs to be paid attention to. I hope Sony can solve this problem through software upgrade.

the resolution is equal to that of NEX-5R, reaching an excellent level

NEX-5T uses the same sensor as NEX-5R, so theoretically it should have the same excellent image quality as 5R. Although the number of pixels is still 16.1 million, I personally think that this level can meet the needs of NEX-5T users.

▲ The resolution reached 2285, which is an excellent level

We tested the resolution of NEX-5T with ISO 12233 resolution card in the laboratory, and the test result was 2285. For this number, many friends may not quite understand what it means. In fact, you just need to simply remember that the resolution of NEX-5T is very high and you can shoot everything you want clearly.

Of course, in order to make people understand the meaning of resolution 2285 more intuitively, we also took real photos in the standard environment of the laboratory, and respectively captured four positions for 1% magnification. Let's take a look at the definition of NEX-5T in real shots.

▲ standard environment of real shooting

▲ 1% screenshots of all parts of real shooting

The above picture shows the standard environment of the laboratory and the screenshots of real shooting respectively, and the red boxes correspond to the screenshots below. What we can see in the 1% screenshot is that the details of the NEX-5T are very good. The lines on the face of the dollar head and the patterns on the clothes are clearly seen, and the texture of the metal coins is also good.

summary: the resolution of the NEX-5T is the same as that of the NEX-5R, and they are both good machines with excellent resolution.

ISO 16 with good noise resistance is available

NEX-5T has about 16.1 million effective pixels Exmor APS HD CMOS image sensor, and its sensitivity range is ISO 1-256, so it can shoot pure images with low noise even in low light environment.

▲ 1% slice comparison of ISO files

The above picture is a 1% screenshot slice comparison of the images taken with ISO files in the standard laboratory environment. When ISO reaches 16, the images are still very pure, and the noise is basically invisible to the naked eye, which is within the available range; When ISO builds 32, the noise becomes more obvious and the sharpness of the picture decreases. Therefore, the ISO 16 of this camera is available.

However, those who don't know much about the technical principles only need to understand that this camera has better high sensitivity. You just need to adjust the ISO to automatic shooting, and don't worry too much about the noise of the picture.

accurate color reproduction is sensitive to yellow

next, let's take a look at the color of NEX-5T, which may be a concern for beginners. Because we don't want to take photos of the gray bumps, and we are too lazy to learn PhotoShop. In this way, the camera with high saturation color is cheap, and it can make you feel intuitively: I am really awesome!

▲ Color reproduction is accurate, and the yellow offset is relatively large

Through laboratory tests, we found that NEX-5T is surprisingly accurate in color reproduction. In terms of color shift, yellow is cheaper, which means that this camera is very suitable for shooting portraits, and you can shoot warm colors without later. Don't believe it? Take a sample and feel it.

▲ Beautiful colors

The picture above is taken with NEX-5T, and the goose yellow skirt shows a warm feeling.

summary: the color of NEX-5T is accurately reproduced, and the yellow color has a large offset, so it is suitable for shooting portraits.
