As the darling of fashion trends, Sony Micro-single has launched a camera with beautiful appearance, small size and excellent image quality for female users. NEX-3N is a new product of this miniature camera. As a digital camera specially designed for young female users, it is exquisite in appearance, miniature in figure and, more importantly, powerful in performance. In this era of increasing demands for women's inner beauty, self-timer cameras should also have inner beauty in order to win the favor of more female users.

▲ High quality? Self-portrait artifact? Depth evaluation of NEX-3N

However, as a digital editor and a female consumer, I usually don't like taking selfies. The reason is that when it comes to the selfie camera, a face that is over-liquefied, over-exposed and over-skinned immediately comes to mind. Moreover, many digital cameras are equipped with? Soft focus mode? It is simply out of focus, and the effect is so fake that people can't bear to look straight. Will NEX-3N make the author wonder during the selfie? Let's find out together in the evaluation.

NEX-3N is positioned at the entry level and is an upgraded product of NEX-F3. The upgraded place is that it has become smaller, and NEX-3N girls can hold it with one hand. In addition, the design of some details has also changed. The zoom lever and shutter button are combined into one, which is more in line with the user's habit of using the card machine, and also makes the selfie a one-handed thing.

Exquisite appearance and ultra-small body

NEX-3N is so small that a girl can master it with one hand. NEX-3N has three colors, pink, white and black. Personally, I prefer pink and white, which are very suitable for girls.

▲ Sony NEX-3N

Is the measurement of NEX-3N 109.9? 62? 34.6mm, weighing 2 10g, smaller than NEX-F3. This size is especially suitable for girls to go out and put it in a bag or hang it around their necks. In addition, Sony also specially launched a beautiful shoulder strap to match it, which shows Sony's good intentions for female users.

NEX-3N accurately locates the young women in 19-24, and tailor this beautiful shape for them? Self-portrait artifact? . In order to meet the female users' pursuit of image quality, this micro-single is equipped with 1665438+ megapixel APS-C format sensor. Unlike other cameras that are good at taking selfies, 3N has a powerful? Core? .

One improvement of NEX-3N on self-timer optimization is to combine the zoom lever with the shutter button. This design follows the design of card machine, which is the first time on a single-phase microcomputer. The advantage of this design is that users upgraded from the card machine will be more comfortable to use, and they can control the zoom and shooting with one hand when taking selfies, so that the other hand can also pose beautifully. However, in the process of use, the zoom lever is prone to misoperation because it is convex, which will happen whether shooting or playing back images. This needs to be improved.

The design of the return key is still simple, and the speed control dial can complete the common settings.

▲ Back button

On the side of the fuselage are SD card slot, data cable interface and HDMI interface. Sony NEX-3N can be directly connected to a computer through a data cable for charging.

The battery capacity of NEX-3N is 1080mA, and it can take 480 photos. In the actual use process, the author took it for an afternoon, and the power was still enough, so the battery life was still good.

Summary: NEX-3N is exquisite in appearance, and its ultra-small figure is the highlight. 180? The foldable LCD screen is very convenient for self-photographing, and the zoom lever is combined with the shutter button, which is convenient for beauty to zoom when taking a self-photographing, but it should be noted that it is easy to misoperate.

Beauty mode makes it easy to create a beautiful woman without makeup

Being a model? Self-portrait artifact? Of course, beauty mode is indispensable. Whether it is in-machine dermabrasion or post-repair, first of all, as a female user, she is most afraid of losing skin details due to excessive dermabrasion. In the past, most beautiful women would choose to use post-processing software such as Meitu Xiu Xiu to grind their skin after taking selfies, that is, post-processing. Secondly, the current mito software is fake, which will make the beauty's skin completely lose its details.

With NEX-3N, beautiful women no longer have to worry about taking selfies. NEX-3N has three beauty modes: low, medium and high. Beauty can choose moderate beauty when taking selfies, which can not only create ultra-white skin, but also won't lose skin details. Moreover, the original photos can be uploaded to the network for sharing, without complicated later stage.

▲NEX-3N Beauty Mode Real Shot (Medium Beauty)

I have to say that the beauty mode of this camera is really easy to use. Usually I don't choose dermabrasion when I take selfies. But the skin is not good, so we can only use PhotoShop for complicated dermabrasion. With this camera, the number of photos I took during the evaluation even exceeded the sum of all the previous selfies, and all the photos in the later period were not used.

▲NEX-3N Beauty Mode Real Shot (High Beauty)

Sometimes beautiful women will take selfies indoors, and they often can't get clear and stable picture quality in dim light. The automatic sensitivity range of NEX-3N is ISO 200-3200, which can be manually adjusted to ISO 200- 16000, which means that it can take clear photos in dark environment. Moreover, Sony NEX-3N is equipped with? Handheld night scene mode? This mode, combined with beauty mode, is the killer of taking selfies in a dimly lit room. Here are two self-portrait samples, which can observe the details of the skin and are very well preserved.

Summary: The beauty model of NEX-3N has three grades: low, medium and high. With the 3-second self-timer function, it is an essential magic weapon for beauty transformation. It is strongly recommended that beautiful women choose moderate beauty when taking selfies, so that they can get good skin without losing skin details.

Automatic composition helps you become? Great teacher?

For beautiful women who don't know shooting techniques, composition is always a big trouble. NEX-3N is equipped with automatic composition function. When this function is turned on, the camera will automatically cut the photos you took and convert them into photos with master composition style.

What are the automatic composition functions? Close? And then what? Automatic? Second, not every photo will be automatically composed. The camera will think about whether to re-crop according to the photos you take (the camera is very smart, and most photos taken by the author will not be re-cropped: D). Moreover, after the automatic composition, the camera will keep an original film you took, so if you are not satisfied with the automatic composition, the original film will still be saved.

Before it's too late, let's see what NEX-3N will do to your photos.

▲ uncut original image

▲ photos after automatic composition

The above photo was taken by a beautiful woman, with her face on the top of the picture, leaving too much white space and messy composition. After cutting by NEX-3N automatic composition function, it completely conforms to the golden composition trichotomy, and the picture is concise and focused. And this photo after automatic composition has won the love of the beauty in the photo.

The automatic composition function before NEX-F3 only supports automatic portrait composition, and NEX-3N can not only automatically compose portraits, but also realize automatic composition in macro mode.

After the automatic composition of NEX-3N, the flowers photographed in macro mode changed from central composition to diagonal composition. You think it's actually quite artistic?

Summary: The automatic composition function of NEX-3N can help beautiful women who have no photography technology to take photos with perfect composition. Users can also learn some shooting skills by observing the automatic composition function of the camera. The automatic composition function is automatic when it is turned on. The camera will choose whether to cut and recompose according to your photos, and save an original film when composing automatically. This function is very practical for beautiful women who have no photography skills.

Good resolution, beauty selfie is enough.

NEX-3N is equipped with APS-C format sensor, with effective pixel 1665438+ million, and sensor size of 23.5x15.6mm. Girls love taking selfies, but of course, the image quality cannot be ignored. After all, beauty will buy a micro-camera in pursuit of high image quality. So how is the picture quality of NEX-3N? Let's take a look together.

The picture below is a photo taken with F8 aperture. We cut the center and edge of the picture, that is, the red frame area in the picture. Then zoom in to 100% to see its image quality.

▲ Aperture: F8 Shutter: 1/500s ISO: 200

▲ Center and edge parts 100% enlarged screenshot.

From the 100% enlarged screenshot of the center and edge, we can see that the wood texture is clearly visible, even at the edge. The resolution of this camera is good, and beautiful women can safely choose it as a tool to show their beauty.

At the same time, we also tested the resolution of NEX-3N strictly and objectively. In the test, we used NEX-3N with the lens of 16-50mm, took a sample with ISO 12233 resolution scale (4000 lines) at the 50mm end, tested it with Imatest software, and finally got the best resolution value.

▲ Resolution comparison between ▲NEX-3N and NEX-F3

It can be seen from the test results that the optimal resolution of NEX-3N is above 2000. Although this achievement is not as good as that of SLR, considering the positioning of the entry-level mirrorless camera of NEX-3N, the resolution close to 2000 is enough for the beauty who loves to take selfies. Compared with the previous NEX-F3, their resolutions are at the same level.

We also used NEX-3N to shoot in the standard evaluation environment of the laboratory. The shooting parameters are that when using the first gear, the aperture is F8, and ISO is set to the lowest sensitivity ISO 200. For the convenience of comparison, we cut off the red border area in the figure and enlarge it to 100%.

▲ Standard evaluation environment

▲ 100% enlarged four-part screenshot.

From the four-part 100% enlarged screenshots, we can see that the details of NEX-3N are OK, but the sharpness of silk thread and coins is average. In addition, in the automatic exposure mode, the overall exposure is slightly underexposed, so it is suggested that one-third exposure can be appropriately increased when shooting.

Summary: The resolution performance of NEX-3N is OK, although it is not as good as SLR, but it is enough for beautiful women who love selfies.

ISO800 can also take selfies with KTV.

The automatic sensitivity range of NEX-3N is ISO 200-3200, which can be manually adjusted to ISO 200- 16000. Strong high sensitivity means that clear and stable images can be obtained in low light environment. Beauty needs a strong sense of high if she wants to take selfies in restaurants, bars, KTV and other places. Let's take a look at the high sensitivity performance of this camera.

▲ Slice comparison of sensitivity of ▲NEX-3N 100%

We compared the high sensitivity performance of NEX-3N and 100% magnification slices, and found that ISO800 had slight noise, but the sharpness remained intact. In ISO 1600, the noise is obviously increased, the picture details are lost, and the picture definition begins to decrease. The test results show that ISO800 is available.

▲ Fish schools photographed under ▲IS03200

The picture above is a sample taken by ISO3200. There can be details. Under the deadline of ISO, the image quality of NEX-3N is excellent.

Good color performance and accurate automatic white balance.

Sony's camera has always had a good reputation in color and is suitable for the original picture. However, to evaluate the color of a camera, we need to see whether the white balance of the camera is accurate and what subject is more suitable for taking photos with its color deviation.

▲ Color shift at ▲ISO 200

This test chart reflects the difference between the actual imaging color value and the ideal value of Sony NEX-3N. The part surrounded by gray lines in the figure is the color gamut range of NEX-3N. The square color block in the test chart is the ideal color value, and the circular color block is the actual shooting value. The closer the white circle in the center of the picture is to the center of the picture, the more accurate the balance is.

The color saturation of NEX-3N at ISO ISO 200 is 1 18.4%, which shows that we can get more realistic images when printing JPG directly. NEX-3N is sensitive to both red and blue, and the color shift is large, which shows that we can get unexpected good results when shooting the sunset or the sky.

▲ISO 3200 color cast test

When ISO 3200 is adopted, the saturation of NEX-3N is 1 16.5%. Still blue and red, the offset is relatively large.

▲ Sony NEX-3N real shot sample

We can see from the real sample that the color reproduction degree of NEX-3N is relatively accurate, and the blue sky is photographed.

Summary: NEX-3N color reproduction is more accurate, and automatic white balance can be safely used. And if you shoot the sunset or the sky with NEX-3N, you will get unexpected results.

Final evaluation summary:

NEX-3N has a small body and beautiful appearance. White and pink are very suitable for female users. Equipped with 1665438+ megapixel APS-C format sensor, the imaging quality is excellent.
