The HXR-MC2000E comes with Optical Steady Shot image stabilisation (Active Mode)
with 3-Way Shake Canceling feature to reduce the effects of hand shake. This advanced
stabilisation system results in brilliant, accurate and sharp video footage - even
for fast-moving, on-the-go shooting.
The HXR-MC2000E includes a built-in 64 GB hard disk drive (HDD), supporting recording
of up to 360 minutes in FX mode. Utilising the AVCHD format allows for highly efficient
video compression that offers long recording time of HD content on a multitude of
affordable consumer media including memory stick Pro Duo and SD/SDHC cards.

Wide-angle G Lens
The HXR-MC2000E comes equipped with a sophisticated G Lens that incorporates Sony's
unique optical design technology and quality control, delivering exceptional performance
on a par with some of the best lenses in the industry. The HXR-MC2000E itself is
optimised to perfectly complement the G Lens with an advanced image sensor and Sony’s
famous image processing technology. This improves picture performance whether zooming
in on the action, or getting a perspective on the big picture with the 29.8 mm wide
angle in Video mode (35mm equivalent).
Exmor CMOS Sensor with ClearVid Array
The HXR-MC2000E’s Exmor R CMOS sensor is capable of producing superb image quality
even in low-light conditions. Sony’s unique imaging system incorporates exclusive
back-illuminated technology that doubles sensitivity compared to conventional CMOS
sensors, providing a dramatic boost in low-light performance. Autofocus technology
is also enhanced to perform better in low-light conditions, so the G-lens can quickly
achieve sharp focus on a moving subject. This superb performance in dimly indoor
scenes and outdoor night scenes is matched by excellent results in bright daylight.
Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode
This feature ensures smooth movement while recording footage in many challenging
shooting situations. In addition, Sony’s innovative 3-Way Shake-Canceling technology
adds electronic roll stability for even smoother video capture. This latest version
of image stabilisation technology realizes images that are up to 10x steadier for
wide angle shooting than conventional Optical SteadyShot images. As the user zooms
in, an intelligent digital image stabiliser starts to blend in and work together
with its optical counterpart to effectively reduce camera shake. This technology
also reduces shake in the rolling direction that commonly occurs when shooting while
walking.
Manual Lens Ring with Assignable Parameters
Using the assignable lens ring, users can manually adjust key parameters like Focus,
White Balance, Exposure, AE Shift, Iris priority and Shutter Speed priority. Users
can control the G Lens iris to create an out-of-focus effect in the foreground or
background. Shutter-speed can also be controlled to create special effects, such
as the flowing motion of a waterfall or bird wings in flight etc.
Long Operating Time with infoLITHIUM-L Series Battery
The HXR-MC2000E camcorder uses standard infoLITHIUM L series batteries, which are
compatible with many of Sony Professional’s camcorders and accessories. The largest
capacity battery (NP-F970) provides a maximum operating time of approximately 13
hours using AVCHD recording in FH mode.
Ergonomic Handle & Controls
The ergonomically designed handle contains a convenient record button and zoom control,
essential for low position shooting. There are also cold shoes on the front and
rear of the handle, which allow for the attachment of two different types of accessories.
Flexible Operation with Consumer Memory Cards
The HXR-MC2000E supports recording directly onto Memory Stick Pro Duo or SD/SDHC
cards (please see Specifications for compatible memory cards). This makes it convenient
and economical to obtain new media in almost any location. In addition, a large
capacity 64GB solid-state memory comes built into the camcorder body. This combination
of removable and built-in memory is especially convenient when shooting a corporate
event or wedding on the move. When content has been backed up to a HDD or downloaded
to a PC for editing, you can simply reuse both the removable memory cards and internal
memory for your next assignment.
AVCHD - Ideal for Memory Recording
AVCHD is a highly efficient data compression format which greatly reduces memory
requirements, maximizing the benefits of file-based recording with high image quality
in a small file size. This is made possible by the exceptionally efficient MPEG4
AVC/H.264 codec. Many consumer electronic devices already support AVCHD playback,
and more are on the way. Numerous major NLE software programs feature AVCHD input
and editing.
MPEG-2 for SD (Standard Definition) Recording Format
The HXR-MC2000E’s Standard Definition recording format is MPEG-2, which is the same
compression codec as standard DVD video discs. If your project will end up on DVD,
then using this format can save you production time and maintain the original image
quality.
