Convenient audio recording from wireless headphones

The receiver picks up audio from the microphone on connected compatible Sony wireless headphones and records it in-camera. You can easily capture the speaker’s voice, making the receiver useful for vlogging, everyday video, and other situations requiring lightweight wireless audio capture. It also supports binaural recording with a three-dimensional feel.

PC and mobile connection

With the optional ECM-W5T Wireless Transmitter, the receiver also connects easily to smartphones and PCs, using the included USB Type-C® adaptor.

High-definition AMOLED interface

The receiver adopts a high-definition, high-contrast AMOLED display for the first time in the ECM-W series. Use your fingertips to intuitively select and change various menu settings. Control wheel/button on the right of the screen also contributes to comfortable operation.

Timecode sync to streamline the editing process

The ECM-W5R now supports timecode sync. It outputs the timecode, and the same timecode information can be embedded into the camera footage. A USB connection to a compatible Sony camera enables sync with the timecode recorded as metadata in the camera’s video. This lets you use the system as a timecode generator during multi-camera shoots.

Reliable for long recording sessions

The camera powers the receiver, eliminating concern about the battery running out during extended shoots.
