To measure and compare the Sony Cyber-shot N2’s lens vignetting and light fall-off we photographed a white target with a highly diffused custom filter using it and a number of rival models.

Here are the results for each camera with their built-in lenses set to their widest focal lengths with the apertures wide open and the focus set to infinity.

The images were analysed with Imatest and the full areas presented here at a reduced resolution. Bigger percentages are better.

The image left was taken with the Sony Cyber-shot N2 zoomed-out to 7.9mm with its aperture wide open.

To measure and compare the Sony Cyber-shot N2’s lens vignetting and light fall-off we photographed a white target with a highly diffused custom filter using it and a number of rival models.

Here are the results for each camera with their built-in lenses set to their longest focal lengths with the apertures wide open and the focus set to infinity.

The images were analysed with Imatest and the full areas presented here at a reduced resolution. Bigger percentages are better.

The image left was taken with the Sony Cyber-shot N2 zoomed-in to 23.7mm with its aperture wide open.

Here the light falls off in the corners to an average of 86.9% of the center measurement, which again places it roughly equivalent to the leading Fujifilm F30 and ahead of its other rivals, especially the Canon A640. It’s fair to say that like the Fujifilm F30, you’re unlikely to notice any darkening in the corners of the N2’s images at any focal length.
