OTHER MICROPHONES

You can also use commercially available microphones not compatible with the advanced accessory shoe, by connecting 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 the audio recording level may vary.

NOTES

Be careful when attaching a very long external microphone; it may appear on the screen.
