Sony have released version 4 of the firmware for the NEX 5. This adds a manual focus peeking mode which is awesome, check out this video for how it works



Also new photo effects have been added

After installing the upgrade and playing withe the camera a bit, the peaking works very well in the video mode. This is going to make it much easier to get the exact focus area with wide apertures such as 2.8, etc. particularly on housings or ports that have no focus adjust knob. Just locking in the focus by holding the shutter button half way down is gonna make my life a lot easier.
