Using an External Microphone

When recording in very quiet surroundings, the built-in microphone may pick up the sound of the camcorder’s internal machinery. When recording outside, the built-in microphone may pick up excessive noise from wind. In such cases, we recommend using an external microphone with a wind screen.

Using the SM-V1 Surround Microphone or DM-100 Directional Stereo Microphone

Using the SM-V1* you can add a sense of depth and presence to your recordings with 5.1ch surround sound. Using the DM-100 you can accurately record audio coming directly from the direction you are recording. In either case, to reduce the amount of noise due to wind, we recommend that you use the wind screen supplied with the microphone.

*When you use the optional SM-V1 Surround Microphone with this camcorder for the first time, you will need to update the camcorder's firmware using the memory card supplied with the SM-V1.
