MF Assist on
(
5.9x magnification
)
Fast and precise MF Assist
When your creative vision demands
extremely fine-tuned focusing, the MF
Assist function delivers all the precision
of manual focusing at a magnified
view. Simply press the AF/MF button to
select the MF mode. Or choose the DMF
(
Direct Manual Focus
)
mode and start
by letting the sophisticated AF system
achieve nearly the focusing results you
desire. Then fine-tune the focus with the
focusing ring in either mode. As soon as
you adjust the ring, the MF Assist function
lends a helping hand by enlarging the
portion of the composition on which
focus is being performed, making it a
snap to obtain razor-sharp focus. Choose
from two magnifications — 5.9x or 11.7x
— depending on the subject you are
shooting. The remarkably convenient MF
Assist function is an especially big help
during macro photography or when
shooting at large apertures.
1200-zone metering
Advanced 1200-zone metering delivers
precise exposures, deftly handling the
most difficult lighting situations with ease.
Employing a sophisticated scene analysis
algorithm and BIONZ
®
image processing,
the system evaluates light levels and color
distribution, then calculates exposure to
suit each image. You can also lock the
exposure by simply pressing the AEL button.
Anti-dust system
Advanced dust resistance helps minimize
photo blemishes. A special static-free
coating on the image sensor’s optical
filter helps prevent dust from adhering. The
filter is vibrated ultrasonically every time
the camera is switched off to dislodge any
dust particles that settled on its surface.
Ultrasonic vibration can also be activated
manually at any time.

Peaking function on
Finely focused image Precision Digital Zoom at 10x magnification
Peaking function for focus
confirmation
Make sure your subject is properly focused
with the Peaking function. This detects
the most sharply reproduced area of the
image and highlights it for confirmation.
Both the level of sensitivity and highlight
color are adjustable.
Precision Digital Zoom
Even when you’ve maxed out the reach
of a telephoto zoom lens, you can still
get closer with Precision Digital Zoom.
Delivering up to 10x magnification of the
central area of the frame, this convenient
feature works with any E-mount or A-mount
lens
16
, including fixed-focal length lenses.
Auto/manual white balance
Easily control the colors of your photos
and movies with auto or manual white
balance adjustment. Select Auto or one
of nine presets for lifelike colors no matter
what kind of scene you are shooting. Then
manually adjust amber-blue or green-
magenta color tones on a color chart to
further tweak the color. Or switch to the
C.Temp./Filter mode and select a desired
color temperature. All adjustments change
the color of the displayed image in real-
time, making it easy to add a charming
warmth to a candlelit moment, pump up
the violet in a brilliant sunset, or inject a
soothing blue calm to a mountain lake.
Custom settings can also be saved in
memory for later use.

New lens shading and aberration
compensation
NEX-7 automatically compensates for
the shading and aberration char-
acteristics of the particular lens you

results. Utilizing embedded data within
the camera on every E-mount lens, it
provides optimal compensation every
time for peripheral shading, chromatic
aberration and distortion — each of which
can be activated or deactivated through
the menu.
