hellooo all, just got my nex-5RL .. i am a convert from M43 Panasonic GF1.

I am so far very impressed with it -- i would say a much much better camera for NOOB like me who just wanted to point and shoot a fast moving kid.

The focus and speed are just amazing -- and of course dslr quality pic. Very happy with the camera. I did not get a good deal .. bought from sony centre at 2450 with 8gb and case. Did not realize that i could get a tripod throw in .. total warranty is 2 years + 3 months. Good ..

All the sifus,

Have a question on nex-5r, had a field trip this evening at Pavillion. Indoor shopping mall shooting with Portrait mode. Took about 100 pictures and mostly iso in the range of 1000 and above.

I notice a problem -- pictures are not that sharp when viewed on the computer with 100%. Pictures taken with JPG Fine and none processed. Below is a sample. I focused on the "lady" in black but when i viewed 100% -- i realized the clothes on the rack behind is on focus while the lady is actually not. She looked in focus when not viewed 100%.

Anybody know what i did wrong? This is only a sample -- most of 100 pics i took are having the same symptoms -- seems like the background is in focus rather than the subject.

Mode used: Scene - Portrait. When taking picture, ensured that green square box is focused and highlighted on the subject. Auto ISO - Aperture is mostly 3.5.

Thanks all -- experimenting now with DMF and peaking focus although I am more like an PnS person.. slow reaction and have a fast moving kid.

It wont charge on my samsung note charger.. 5v 1A.

anybody has 5r and experience abnormal symptoms. Mine just freeze today when i try to take a pic. lcd turn off with backlite on and the off on button stopped functioning. I had to take out batt to restart.
i googled and someone on dpreview faced similar issue.

Anothet instance was when i off, the lens did not retract. Had to on off again.

anybody experienced these issues?

Dont think it is the sleep mode -- it freezed the moment i turned it on and took a snap. Not idling. I tried pressing all buttons. Eventually had to take out the battery.

I would say not easy to replicate - i had played with the camera for about 5 days and it happened only on one day which both incidents occured. The original zoom lens 16-50. no other lens bro.

So just wondering if any forumer experienced the same thing ....

i am having the same problem here with nex-5r 16-50 zoom lens. Very difficult to get focused or sharp picture. Some sifus here recommended to use DMF and peaking. Tried that but it works on static object, not my kid. He wont stay there for me to fizzle with the manual focus.

anyone looking for 16mm-50mm power zoom?

all the sifus here, do you think if there is any market for the nex-5r 16mm 50mm power zoom lens?

I want to let go of the compact zoom lens.

Sony Singapore has been selling for quite a while. But just last week, i went sony centre here, was told that they have not even seen the entry in their warehouse, so not sure when it will arrive.

Is studio zaloon carrying grey import or malaysia warranty?

Super good deal.. Which store? I bought mine 2450 without anything except 2 years warranty

i think nex-5r has auto focus issue -- i have it for about 3 months already. The auto focus on the stock 1650 lens is not sharp.

Is this the reason why dpreview has not published any 5r or 6r review?

i can't afford to dmf because the subject wont stay still for very long.

I am facing the focus issue from day one on 5r. frustrated.. And the firmware upgrade did not resolve the issue.

anyone interested in getting my nex-5r? it is about 4 months old ..about 1 year 11 months warranty left from Sony.
