According to my cheap printed owners manual, the battery indicator in the upper left corner of the screen is green when you have adequate power, lit up with a partial charge when power is low and...

Since I don't take movies and I hit the movie button few times by accident when going for the shutter release, I set the movie button to actuate MF and set the magnification feature to operate...

I just checked BLUE NOOK. They sell a travel charger (no cord needed) with two BLN-1 batteries for $30. That is the good news. Now the bad news. They have a caveat, to wit: the batteries are...

I just picked up mine over the counter and I was advised that I have the first one in Southern California. Maybe so or maybe not. But I am glad to finally have it. My Panasonic 4/3's lenses work...

All of the suggestions are good ones, but one very easy one has been left out. I check for dust from time to time on all my cameras; APSC as well as EVIL 4/3's. I use the in camera sensor...

It seems that no one really answered you question. IMHO, I would say definitely YES! That is a pretty heavy lens to hang off such a dainty camera. Check with Kirk, Really Right Stuff, Markins or...

The Kiron appears to be softer than the Tamron. The Tamron images are needle sharp.

I also highly recommend the Tamron 90mm macro. Mine has a Nikon mount for my D300. But since critical focusing is a must, I use it mostly manual. When they come out with a Nikon to NEX adapter...

Hands down, the best accessory for the NEX5N is the OLED eye level viewfinder. Of course, if I had waited for the NEX7, I'd choose another accessory. But the LVF is, in my opinion, a must have for...

The Sigma 17-50 lens is not listed as a 4/3's mount, so forget it...for now.

There is a new thread on Rangefinder forum forum for NEX cameras. A new owner of an NEX7 was puzzled by the fact that his camera auto focuses by itself with out half pressing the shutter button....

For those of us still upset with accidentally activating the poorly placed movie button, here is a clever inexpensive solution to solve the problem that Sony thus far refuses to remediate....

If, by power zoom you mean zoom at the push of a button, I hope not. Power zooms are hopelessly inaccurate when it comes to going to a specific focal length. The only use I see for a power zoom is...

It is, albeit, somewhat quirky compared to most other cameras. Stick with the controls and learn the menu and it will be one of your favorite toys. When holding it, be careful not to press the...

E-mail Sony on their website. I got a very fast response from them on another problem.

When I had my GF1 I had to allow the camera to operate w/o lens in order to use legacy lenses in MF When I got the NEX5N, I went to Menu>Setup>Release w/o Lens>Enable. I haven't had a problem...

Sony doesn't include anything they don't think they have to. My wife's A33 came without a sunshade which I had to order separately. My NEX5N came without body or rear lens caps (now on order from...

DSC 05163 is a keeper. Do a crop around the bubble keeping the pedestrians in the background plus a little work in CS5 and I think you'll have winner.

I phoned Blue Nook today and explained the problem. They found the sales record and told me they would ship out a new one today. My battery was supposed to have the recognition chip in it, but Blue...

My 5N firmware is version 1.01. Please check your version. It may be that part of the new version did something that rejects 3rd party batteries. Kindly let me know.
