Canon 9545A001AA, OPTURA40 instruction manual Recording with an External Microphone

Recording with an External Microphone

You can attach a commercially available microphone or the optional DM-50 Directional Stereo Microphone to the accessory shoe. Refer also to the instruction manual of the microphone.

1. Attach the microphone to the accessory shoe.

2. When using a commercially available microphone, connect it to the MIC terminal.

❍When recording in silent places, the built-in microphone may pick up the

motor noise of the camcorder. In such case, we recommend using an external microphone.

❍When using a commercially available microphone:

-Use a microphone with built-in power supply (condenser microphone). Almost all stereo microphones with a plug diameter of 0.14 in. (3.5 mm) can be connected. The audio level may differ from that of the built-in microphone.

-Long microphones may appear on the screen.
