Bottom line is charge current.. it has the highest risk in frying any electronic hardware when condition is wrong. 

USB connectors are known to be flaky and making bad or poor contacts means higher current being pump into the system to keep things going.  I will not go into typical reconstruction of a failure but they are your highest bet to cause problems.  It becomes worst when connectors are tiny.  Over time.. it will hit is MTBF and you will increase the risk of roasting your camera.

For a very good charger for anything above 3.7 volts cells (ie 1 cell = 3.7V..  most are 2 cells), it is best to have a charger that will do balance charging.. ie the battery will have ability for you to individually access each of the cell independently and charge them individually until they are all the same voltage.

But handphone also same hmm.gif . I'm willing to take the risk, very unlikely to happen.

I bought a third party NP-FW50 battery. When I use the original charger that came with the camera, I can't charge the new 3rd party battery. But if I use back the original battery, it can charge. icon_question.gif

Should I go back to the shop and exchange for another battery or the original charger memang cannot recognize 3rd party batteries? icon_question.gif icon_question.gif icon_question.gif

5. Just get a 3rd party battery NP-FW50. Depends on the brand it can be between RM30 to RM80. They are as good as the genuine one but cost significantly less.

I bought 1 and it is unable to charge. Yours can charge? Do I need a third party CHARGER to charge it?

I bought a few variation, all can use the original charger to charge or charge in the camera (Nex 6).

I googled about it and a lot of issue about NEX 5N not being able to support 3rd party batteries, but mine is 3N. I go bring back to shop and see what they say.

Went back to shop, the seller tried with a few more batteries (same type) and all cant work. He suspect that the ori charger dun recognize 3rd party batt. So i bought a 3rd party charger for rm70. Not sure if I have made the right choice.

Whenever I flip up the screen on my NEX 3N, the self-timer is set to 3 secs. How to change it to 10 secs?

Why does the pic appear to have a bit of fisheye effect? The lines on d side are supposed to be straight.

Barrel distortion.
Very common on the kit lens.

You can correct it in lightroom.

Not a defective unit right? Which lightroom function to use?

Hi guys,

I am a noobie when it comes to camera and the last camera i bought was a point and shoot. My sis in law and friend had a nex-3 and it produced very stunning result.

I am going on a trip to europe and I am hoping that I can take some pictures of my memories there. I am interested in a Sony Alpha camera. Anyone got any suggestions? Should I go for a A5000, Nex-6 or A6000? What's the difference? I have no idea how to play with exposure, WB etc.
Would it be better for me to go back to a point and shoot camera?

Would appreciate if anyone can give me some pointers. Thanks!

If u are stunned by nex-3 (I assume it's with kit lens) result, I believe Sony RX100 2 will be sufficient for auto-mode usage. The compact body will be a plus.

I thought the glow around the border is caused by condensation also, happened to me before. It will some how diffuse everything.

Since my lens is a used 1, is it a defected unit? Can use software to correct it?

for that question sadly i have no answer for you since i never used non-emount on my nex before. Depends on how you want your picture to look if you want to use software. Try troubleshooting one by one starting from the adapter you used perhaps. Just my 2 cents  wink.gif
