Solution
You can attach a commercially available microphone for recording movies.
- Use commercially available condenser microphones with their own power supply.
- You can connect almost any stereo microphone with a φ 3.5 mm plug but audio recording levels may vary.
When recording in very quiet surroundings, the built-in microphone may pick up the sound of the camcorder's internal machinery. In such case, we recommend using an external microphone.
Connect the external microphone to the MIC terminal.
CAUTION
Make sure to check the audio recording level before recording with the external microphone.
NOTE
When an external microphone is connected to the camcorder, [WIND SCREEN] will automatically be set to [ OFF
