About the Data Code

With every scene or still image recorded, the camcorder keeps a data code (date/time of recording, information about the camera setup,

etc.). In mode, this information is displayed on the bottom bar and as information icons; in mode, you can select the information to be displayed with the

[DATA CODE] setting ( 70).

Using an External Microphone

You can use a commercially available microphone, for example to record audio more accurately.

Connect the external microphone to the MIC terminal.

NOTES

•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.

•When an external microphone is connected to the camcorder,

[WIND SCREEN] will automatically be set

to [ OFF ].
