The video on top shows a peaking mode test made with the new Sony-NEX-C3 and an old manual lens, the Jupiter 85mm f/2.0 (). The tester said: "It's really great if you use manual lenses". The red highlights indicate where the image is sharp (easy!)

Awesome concept! Wish the micro 4/3 cameras had this feature.

Ooh, is there already a firmware update for the NEX-3?

Edit: No, but it will be availlable the 20th of June!

Can't sit still waiting for this update. It might even get the wife to use manual lenses.
