Features
Wide-angle G Lens
The HXR-MC2000E comes equipped with a sophistic-
ated G Lens that incorporates Sony’s unique optical
design technology and quality control, delivering ex-
ceptional 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 per-
formance whether zooming in on the action, or get-
ting a perspective on the big picture with the 29.8
mm wide angle in Video mode (35mm equivalent).
Exmor R™ CMOS Sensor with ClearVid Array
The HXR-MC2000E’s Exmor R™ CMOS sensor is cap-
able of producing superb image quality even in low-
light conditions. Sony’s unique imaging system incor-
porates exclusive back-illuminated technology that
doubles sensitivity compared to conventional CMOS
sensors, providing a dramatic boost in low-light per-
formance. 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 record-
ing 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 convention-
al 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 ef-
fectively 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, Ex-
posure, AE Shift, Iris priority and Shutter Speed prior-
ity. 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.
