180° Flip LCD Screen
A fuss-free way to capture beautiful self-portraits
NEX-F3 makes it a breeze for you to snap beautifully composed self-portraits. As its 180° Flip LCD Screen can be tilted upwards to face you directly, it is easy to create a perfect picture of yourself and your friends. All you have to do is flip up the LCD screen, frame the shot, and press the shutter release button. It's that simple.

Built-in Flash
Brighten the scene whenever you need
Now you won't have to worry about forgetting to bring your external flash during your shoots. Whenever an extra burst of light is needed, you can count on the Built-in Flash to deliver the results you desire. The Built-in Flash provides ample light when combined with the APS-C size sensor's high sensitivity performance, to produce brilliant flash photography in all settings.

16.1 Megapixels Exmor™ APS HD CMOS Sensor
Add more depth and drama to your images with a larger sensor
Thanks to its 16.1 Megapixels Exmor™ APS HD CMOS Sensor (APS-C size), NEX-F3 produces stunning image quality in almost any lighting conditions. The sensor's extra-large surface area – same size as sensors found in advance-class DSLRs – heightens sensitivity in low-light conditions and strengthens background-defocusing effects. As a result, every picture you take comes with rich details, accurate colours and smooth tonal gradation for a more dramatic feel.

AVCHD Full HD Video Recording
Create cinematic moments with every recording
Start filming Full HD movies of life's treasured moments in AVCHD. You'll appreciate the natural smoothness that 60i (50i for PAL) brings to your movies. For a more cinematic feel, you can shoot at 24p (25p for PAL), which has the same frame rate as traditional movies. You can even apply different Picture Effects to enhance your recordings. And with the built-in microphone, you can play back your movies with crisp and clear audio quality.

11 Picture Effect Modes
Transform everyday scenes into artistic images
Turn any ordinary photograph into a work of art with our 11 Picture Effect modes, which give you a total of 15 fun effects for endless creative possibilities. Without the need for a PC, you can instantly change colours, add textures or apply stunning visual effects to your photos or movies.

Auto Portrait Framing
Capture perfectly composed portraits
Give your portrait photos a professional look with Auto Portrait Framing. When it is enabled, it identifies the subject's face with Face Detection before automatically cropping parts of the scene away to create a well-balanced composition. The original photo is also saved so you can compare and decide which version expresses the best mood.
