I have the latest camera firmware for my Nex 5n. What else is needed to get the camera to correct lens distortion?

Answering my own question after some research. In the menu, when this lens is installed, it says that lens distortion is disabled. According to what I have read, lens distortion correction is permanently enabled; the ability to turn it on and off is what is disabled.

Attach lens to camera; attach USB cable from camera to computer; go to tech support on sony website; locate firmware update; download and run it and camera will receive proper firmware to compensate for lens distortion.

no need to upgrade firmware. en-el 14a is standard; works independently of firmware. see standard package @ B&H; photo: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/910146-REG/nikon_1501_d5200_digital_slr_camera.html

Dear Rachelle, I have the same camera (NEX5) and it's needs, but I do not see the E-mount here. It means we (NEX-owners) are needing something like LAEA1 Mount Adaptor ;)

I have a NEX-7 so guess they are similar. I have to go into the Drive mode in the Camera menu and set it to the IR commander mode. My guess is that you have to go into one of your camera's menus and program it to accept the IR Commander. Your user manual should tell you what you have to do. Or a nearby camera shop could also help. Hope this helped.

It is not native e-mount, so you will need the lea-2 adapter (lea-1 will work, but is too slow). The adapter has phase detection and works well with the lens. The lens is big though, so you'll likely want a monopod for better handling with the nex-7.

I bought mine used and the seller I got it from had the body only but it was like new. And for the kit lens, as I've stated, I didn't get mine with the kit lens but I will say I use the nex f3 with an la-ea2 adapter with Sony dt 35mm f1.8 Sam lens. It works beautifully for beginners. But I am an enthusiast and hobbyist photographer and I will get a semi pro or pro level dslt camera from Sony in future.

Hi JaPaK, this Sony SEL16F28 E-mount lens will work on your NEX-5N and will work properly when shooting those interiors and rentals. Having a wide angle lens will capture most of your subject. -Ely

My NEX-5N came from Amazon (delivered 11/7/2012) WITH a little bitty teeny tiny flash that sort of screws in the top. I have not used it yet but it was there. It IS a great camera.

I will answer as soon as possible. I am still waiting for my filters and adapters and LCD covers before I take my camera anywhere to take any photos. I just want to be safe. I scratched the lens and LCD on my last camera when I fell down, so I am trying to be extra careful. I will keep this email so I can remember to answer your question. Have you tried manual though? Going to the highest ISO would probably help with that.

Need more information on camera settings. I have has no issues at all and there were no firmware updates to lens to add variable except camera.

I have a nex-6. It's manual focus. I've never calibrated it. You can do this for distortion correction but I just use Lightroom to lessen the distortion.

Hey A.M.M Arguello, I noticed in your initial post you mentioned you have the NEX-3 camera. I also noticed in your last post that you ordered the 55-210 mm zoom lense. Have you had a chance to use the 55-210 mm zoom lense with your NEX-3 yet? Have you had any problems? I only ask because on the sony website this lense does not list the NEX-3 as a compatible camera. However I think this has to do with the fact that the NEX-3 was technically a discontinued model when this lense was released. Any first hand experience you can provide would be much appreciated.

Since this lens has no electronics, it's normal for the camera to not recognize its presence. You need to go into the the setup menu of the camera and enable "Release w/o lens". This will allow you to use your NEX-7 with fully manual lenses like this one

If the powered 18-200mm servo lens is anything to go by, every model with NEX in its name will work with the lens as far as zoom, OS and AF are concerned. Full-frame models like the 7r will know to crop it since this is an APS-C lens. I would expect most models to require a firmware update for in-camera image correction (I don't know when that's coming).

The thread is there but it's a smaller diameter than most of the other E-type lenses so you will need a new set of filters. The lens is very compact but the images need to be corrected for distortion. SONY provides software for this as do Photoshop and LightRoom.

I have an nex 5. It did not work for me. It fit but didn't work. Everything was blurry. But I am no camera expert.
