Its highly-sensitive Exmor™ R CMOS sensor adopts a back-illuminated technology that enables the image sensor to utilize incidental light more efficiently, helping the video-grapher to achieve rich image quality even during low-light shooting situations. Moreover, the Sony HXR-MC2500 is also equipped with a convenient built-in LED light for valuable extra illumination when needed.

Wide angle view, high contrast OLED viewfinder and 3-inch wide LCD panel
The Sony HXR-MC2500 is equipped with an OLED Tru-Finder™ electronic viewfinder, offering a high resolution of approximately 1.44 million dots with high contrast levels. Sony's proprietary viewfinder technologies allow for better tonal reproduction and more detailed picture information when shooting. In addition, there is also the built-in 3-inch wide high resolution LCD panel (approximately 0.92 million dots) for crisp and bright views.

Wi-Fi/NFC functions for seamless connection to smart phones
The Sony HXR-MC2500 can connect to mobile devices such as smart phones or tablets via a Wi-Fi connection, enabling monitoring and remote control functions such as start/stop recording, zoom control, iris control and touch auto focus.
