Sony Alpha NEX-5R Digital Camera Review

Shooting Modes

Sadly the NEX-5R's tiny body has no room for a physical mode dial. This has been a common complaint of the series, and one that was finally ameliorated with the NEX-6, but didn't quite make it to this model. Instead, the button in the center of the rear rotating dial accesses mode selection, and here you'll find all the PASM modes, a couple auto modes, and dedicated stops for scene and panorama.
