Picture Effect

Creativity comes easy with NEX-6 thanks 
to Picture Effect. 11 modes with 15 total 
effects—such as Partial Color, Posterization, 
Toy Camera, High Contrast Monochrome, 
HDR Painting and more—give you the 
means to transform everyday photos 

into impressive works of art. As you apply 
effects, results are shown in real-time on the 
LCD screen*.

*  The following modes are not displayed in real-time and 

 cannot be applied to movies: HDR Painting, Rich-tone 
 Monochrome, Soft Focus and Miniature.

Auto HDR

Eliminate blocked shadows and blown 
highlights in contrasty scenes. The camera 
takes three shots at different exposures 
then composites them for photos that 
closely resemble what your eyes see.

Peaking function

See at a glance whether your subject is in 
focus with the Peaking function. A highlight 
appears over the area of the composition 
that is in focus for instant confirmation.

Clear Image Zoom

Digitally increase the focal length of 
lenses by 2x without markedly sacrificing 
image quality. This is like having another 
lens, providing extra reach when shooting 
distant subjects.

D-Range Optimizer (DRO)

DRO is another way to tame contrasty 
scenes for more natural looking images. 
Unlike Auto HDR, which requires stationary 
subjects, DRO can be used when 
photographing moving subjects, even 
during high-speed continuous shooting.

Peaking function on

MF Assist

Always be assured of sharp images when 
focusing manually. This magnifies the area 
of the composition on which focus is being 
performed by 4.8x or 9.6x—ideal when 
shooting close-ups or at wide apertures.

Anti-dust system

NEX-6’s advanced ultrasonic vibration 
system removes dust from the sensor that 
can cause spots on images. The system 
automatically activates when the camera 
is turned off.

Micro USB terminal

Charge the battery 
without removing it from 
the camera. Just connect 
to a PC via the included 
micro USB cable. 

Long-life battery

Shoot up to 330 images* on a single 
charge. The durable battery means less 
worry when shooting for extended periods, 
such as when touring or at lengthy  
events, and provides long movie  
recording and playback times.

* CIPA standard. See www.store.sony.com for details.

Multi memory card support

For added storage capability and 
convenience, NEX-6’s memory card slot 
supports a variety of media, including 
high-capacity Sony Memory Stick Pro-HG 
Duo

* and SDXC memory cards*.

* Sold separately
