Audio Tips
To hear Audio when Recording:
When recording video the only audio that you will hear is audio from
the camcorder. For many camcorders you can hear the audio when the
LCD display is open. Audio is automatically recorded with the video.
You will hear audio when you play back the captured video recording.
Using an external Microphone on your camcorder:
If you plan to use an external microphone connected to the MIC jack
on your camcorder, we strongly recommend that you use a STEREO
Microphone. The audio quality will be better and since your camcorder
is recording in stereo, you will want your MIC input to match the rest of
the audio.
