Key Features:

Exmor™ R CMOS sensor and built-in LED light:

The HXR-MC2500 shoots clearly even in low-light or indoor environments. Its highly-sensitive Exmor™ R CMOS sensor uses a back-illuminated technology that enables the image sensor to process incidental light more efficiently (minimum illuminance of 0.8 lux for NTSC), helping videographers achieve rich image quality even during low-light shooting. The HXR-MC2500 is also equipped with built-in LED light for extra illumination.

OLED viewfinder and LCD panel:

The new camera is equipped with a wide-angle view, high-contrast OLED Tru-Finder™ electronic viewfinder with a high resolution of approximately 1.44 million dots. Sony’s viewfinder technologies allow for better tonal reproduction and give the shooter more detailed picture information. The built-in 3-inch wide high resolution LCD panel (approximately 0.92 million dots) also delivers crisp and bright views.

Wi-Fi/NFC functions for connection to smartphones:

The HXR-MC2500 connects to mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets via a Wi-Fi connection, enabling monitoring and remote control functions such as start/stop recording, zoom control, iris control and touch auto focus. Its Near Field Communications (NFC) capabilities allow easy, one-touch wireless connections to compatible mobile devices.

Embedded 32GB internal flash memory and low power consumption for longer shooting times:

A 32GB internal flash memory storage system enables long recording times of more than 150 minutes, ideal for event shooting. Using a combination of the internal flash memory and a memory card in the MS/SD slot enables recording functions such as “Relay” and “Simultaneous” for backup. When Sony’s L-Series InfoLithium battery NP-F970 (optional) is used, the HXR-MC2500 is capable of continuous long recording of up to 14 hours.
