Sony NEX-5 7 Frames Per Second Burst Shooting

sony nex-5 7fps burst snowboard


Davide C. emailed us to show how to use the Sony NEX-5's 7 frames per second burst shooting mode. He set the Drive Mode of the NEX-5 to Speed Priority Continuous and used Photoshops "load into stack" function to finish the image. The lens used was the Sony E-mount 16mm f/2.8 pancake - a guess from the EXIF.

He mentioned that the NEX-5 buffer fills up after 15 large JPEG shots, we were wondering if using a faster card like the Sony Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo HX would be a remedy. The shots turned out very well even with this minor setback.

This is what the shutter looks like at 7 frames per second burst.

  1. I'm using a "Sandisk 16GB Extreme SD Card - Class 10" write speed is rated at 30MB/s.
    The "Sony Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo HX 16GB" is rated at 20MB/s.

    But in real world performance which will actually take/write shots quicker?

  2. Here was a comparison done:
    64GB SDXC Class 10 Super High Speed Card (Panasonic and Patriot)
    32GB Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo HX (Sony)

    used the NEX-5 + 18-200mm Lens + Speed Priority Continuous Mode (7 Frames/Sec) for 1 minute, the results are:
    -SDXC Panasonic: 154 frames = 2.57 frames/sec
    -SDXC Patriot: 151 frames = 2.52 frames/sec
    -MS PRO-HG: 212 frames = 3.53 frames/sec
