Sony Alpha NEX-3 and Sony Nex-5 Shoot 3D Photos improve battery life
July 1st, 2010 | 
Author: An all new Firmware update for Sony NEX-3 and NEX-5 is availabel at official Support sites for download:
Firmware Sony NEX-3 [ENG] [GER]
Firmware Sony NEX-5 [ENG] [GER]
Next to the previously announced ability to shoot 3D pictures utilizing Sony’s sweep Panaorama function, several further improvements are made available. Probabbly the most usable one (as noone has a 3D capable TV Set at home yet) would be the improved Battery drain whil the beast is switched off. Hopefully this will allow us to enjoy travel without Battery Charger soon…
Full List of improvements:
- 3D Sweep Panorama function has been added;
- Improvement of ‘normal’ 2D Sweep Panorama shooting;
- Decreased power drain when the camera is switched off;
- Quicker start-up in low-light conditions

Polish Sony Alpha Club members enjoying Sony NEX-5 video
Shot entirely on NEX – the loveley video below demonstrates greatly the power of the CMOS EXMOR HD sensor in Video shooting. But it also demonstrated how much fun and passion polish employees are putting into marketing of their little beasts – Marketshare seems to be no coincident.

New NEX Firmware to enable 3D Pictures using Panorama function
From July, Sony is planning a new firmware version for their NEX5/NEX3 models which enable these models to create 3D images while only using a single lens. This will be made possible using Sony’s Sweep Panorama function and the extremely fast Sony Exmor CMOS sensors simulating a “two-eye-effect” while sweeping as illustrated.
