In mode, and in mode during slideshow playback, adjust the headphones volume the same way you adjust the speaker’s volume ( 45).

IMPORTANT

•When using headphones, make sure to lower the volume to an appro- priate level.

•Do not connect the headphones to the AV OUT/ terminal if the icon does not appear on the screen. The noise output in such case may be harmful to your hearing.

NOTES

•Use commercially available headphones with a ∅ 3.5 mm minijack.

•Even if [AV/Headphones] was set to [ Headphones] in a playback mode, the function of the AV OUT/ terminal will return automatically to AV output when you set the camcorder to a recording mode.

•If [AV/Headphones] was set to [ Headphones] in mode, the camcorder retains the terminal’s setting even if you set the camcorder

to mode.

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. In such case, we recommend using an external microphone.

Operating modes:

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.
