Benefits
Excellent low light performance
Many compact camcorders struggle in low light, pro-
ducing grainy images. Super sensitive Exmor R™
CMOS Sensor reduces image noise for clearer images.
In conjunction with the powerful BIONZ processor
you’ll get great results in low light, idea for corporate
and event videography where light conditions cannot
necessarily be controlled.
Outstanding wide angle shooting.
Shooting in tight situations needs the flexibility of a
wide angle lens. The high quality G Lens by Sony now
features enhanced wide angle performance of
29.8mm (35mm equivalent), meaning an additional
wide angle adaptor may not be necessary, reducing
the weight of the camcorder.
Steady shooting without additional grip equipment
Documentary and video diary productions are often
shot hand-held by non-craft camera operators. New
Optical SteadyShot Active Mode delivers best-ever
‘3-way’ camera shake correction at all zoom settings,
even when you’re walking along. In wide angle posi-
tion, you’ll enjoy up to ten times improved anti-shake
performance ideal for delivering watchable content in
different shooting conditions.
Take control
For the more experienced camera operators, there’s a
manual settings dial for extra control, large XtraFine
LCD and view finder to frame shots precisely, and a
supplied external shotgun microphone for professional
audio.
High Quality Full HD pictures
FX Mode captures detail-packed 1920x1080/50i video
at a full 24Mbps – the highest bit-rate specified by the
AVCHD format.
Professional Camcorder for Professional Users
The HXR-MC50E features a professional design with
the same cosmetic finish as the HXR-NX5E, giving the
product a high-quality, professional look, whilst still
being able to pass for a consumer camcorder for cov-
ert recording in documentary applications.
It also benefits from a range of supplied professional
accessories including a large Lens Hood, an ECM
Shotgun Microphone with holder and a high capacity
battery – ideally suited to the specific needs and ap-
plications of the professional user.
Finally the HXR-MC50E comes with a 2 year Sony
PrimeSupport agreement, offering comprehensive,
detailed advice available from 09:00 – 18:00 CET,
backed up by certified engineers at a Sony Profession-
al repair centre should this be required - providing
peace of mind and superior professional customer
support.
The support covers all sales in EU, Norway and
Switzerland.
