Compact, Splash-proof
Even though it's able to full HD shooting (1920 x 1080), and is equipped with a 10x optical zoom and built-in microphone, the camera is compact, measuring only 1.5 x 1.7 x 3.5" (3.7 x 4.25 x 8.65 cm). That means it can shoot 1080i HD or SD images and sound in places that no ordinary camcorder can access. Attaching it to various devives is possible, including helmets or arms by using the screw hole at the bottom of the unit, letting you obtain images from angles that you've never experienced before. The camera is also splash-proof, making it suitable for outdoor use and shooting near the water's edge.

All-in-one Recording
Recording and playback are possible within the control unit of the HXR-MC1. You don't need any external recording facility. Maximum battery operation of up to 405 minutes is available with the use of the Exmor CMOS sensor and various low-power consumption technologies. You can shoot anytime, anywhere without worrying about power supply.

Remote Monitoring & Control
Since the control unit has a 2.7" (16:9), 210,000-pixel LCD panel that uses ClearPhoto LCD plus, the images captured by the camera are always at your fingertips. All the menu settings can be accessed using the touch screen LCD panel. The control unit is also equipped with a recording button, zoom lever, and manual control dial--letting you control the camera remotely.

Cutting Edge Image Sensor Technology
The Exmor CMOS sensor, which is also used in professional camcorders and high-end DSLR cameras, is used in the HXR-MC1. It achieves low noise by multiple micro A/D (analog to digital) converters. The image sensor in the HXR-MC1 also uses a ClearVid pixel array, which has 45-degree rotated pixels. This unique layout offers high picture quality while keeping low-light sensitivity.

Long Record Times to Memory Stick Media
Memory Stick PRO Duo cards offer the optimum recording media for HXR-MC1. Meanwhile, the highly efficient compression methods used in HD and SD modes achieve long recording times, which make the most of Memory Stick PRO Duo storage capacity. In HD recording mode, video is recorded in AVCHD, which uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression - the same method used in Blu-ray Disc. SD video is recorded in MPEG-2.
