Thanks for the review. Since there is electronic zooming and there is an app that allows remote zooming, can you zoom remotely? This would make it ideal as a remote camera.
Thanks

Mike,

With the Play Memories Mobile app, you can control the (NEX-6) camera remotely from your smartphone via Wi-Fi, although in our experience the control options are quite limited for the time being. You can see the camera’s live view feed on your phone’s screen, set exposure compensation and take a picture remotely but that’s it basically. Perhaps Sony will update the app at some point to include remote zooming and some other much-needed features, but when we did the review, this was all you could do with it in terms of remote control.

Thanks for the reply. I have uses for remote cams and even the basic features will be nicer than using current remote releases etc. But I always want more.

Way to go Sony.
I had my heart set on a Panasonic M4/3 (the Sony NEX lenses were just too big). But I needed an electronic viewfinder and I got tired of waiting for Panasonic to introduce a GX1 upgrade with viewfinder. Then NEX 6 came along with this lens and I snapped it up. Am delighted.

In the section “Sharpness at 50mm” there is a 35mm picture.

The NEX-7 firmware upgrade to 1.02 is necessary to have the lens automatically collapse when the camera us turned off. This upgrade also contains the information for JPEG distortion correction. Perhaps Lightroom 4 will eventually correct RAW ditortion.
