Sports Shooting
If you’re shooting while taking part in extreme sports such as
skydiving, paragliding or skateboarding, it is hard to check the
images you’re recording. With the HXR-MC1/ACC, even if you attach
the
camera to your helmet, you can easily check the angles using the
LCD panel of the control unit and adjust the angle of view with the
zoom lever. Once the recording to Memory Stick PRO Duo™ has
started, all you have to do is to enable the control unit’s HOLD switch
to prevent operating error, put the control unit into your
backpack or a pocket, and get going.
Motor Sports
With the HXR-MC1/ACC, it’s possible to capture powerful visuals in
which the ground comes toward you just as though you’re riding
a motorcycle or driving a racing car. The HXR-MC1/ACC’s tiny
camera increases your choice of where to mount it. You can even
shoot inside the cramped interior of a car by using an optional wide
conversion lens.
Live Relay / Recording
The control unit of the HXR-MC1/ACC has connectors for both
HDMI™ output and analog video output. By using a commercially
available HDMI/HD-SDI converter or an A/D converter, you can
also make live relays or recordings using HD-SDI signals. If you use
visuals that close in on the subject, such as images taken by the
HXR-MC1/ACC on the posts of a soccer goal or a close shot of a
musician’s hands, you can achieve even more powerful live images.
The HDMI and analog video connector outputs SD signals when the
recording mode of HXR-MC1/ACC is set in SD.
Shooting Small Animals and Insects
The small size of the HXR-MC1/ACC camera makes it ideal for captur-
ing animals or insects in their natural surroundings. It is possible to
record continuously for about 405 minutes (6 hours 45 minutes)*.
You can also shoot the world of insects by sliding the camera
through the grass.
* Continuous recording with the optional NP-FH100 battery (LCD backlight =OFF).
It operates for about 200 minutes in ordinary use with frequent recording start/
stop, zooming etc,
Images From Operators’ Sightlines
Images taken by the HXR-MC1/ACC camera from the sightlines of
operators with special skills, such as process engineers can be
used as simulation material or as a training video to help others
acquire such skills. Also the recorded video can be used later on
to help the user analyze the actions or the action pathways made
by a person or object carrying the camera.

Notes:
• The LCD panel does not display all captured area.
• When the camera unit receives a sudden and very strong shock,
the internal lens may move, which may cause a momentary shift of focus
position. The use of shock absorbers are recommended under these
circumstances.
• Sony does not provide any special mounting hardware. As for the
positions and methods of installing the camera and the control unit,
users should keep safety concerns in mind and confirm safety on their
own in advance. Sony will not take responsibility for any problems arising
from the installation of the HXR-MC1/ACC camera.
