Using an External Microphone

You can attach a commercially available microphone for recording movies. 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.

Connecting a Microphone

Connect the external microphone to the MIC terminal. Use commercially available condenser microphones with their own power supply. You can connect almost any stereo microphone with a 3.5 mm plug but audio recording levels may vary.

IMPORTANT

Make sure to check the audio recording level before recording with the external

microphone ( 79).
