Using the optional WM-V1 Wireless Microphone, you can reliably record sound even when recording subjects at a distance exceeding the practical range of the built-in microphone. You can also mix and record audio from the WM-V1 with audio from the built-in microphone. For details about using the WM-V1, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the microphone.

Using Commercially Available Microphones

You can also 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.

NOTES

• To adjust the audio recording level of an external microphone connected to the MIC terminal, refer to Audio Recording Level (A81).

Audio Scenes and Other Audio Settings

You can have the camcorder optimize the audio settings of the built-in microphone by selecting the audio scene that matches your surroundings. This will greatly enhance the sense of "being there". Alternatively, you can select [Custom Setting]* in order to adjust the camcorder's various audio settings to your liking.

See the following table for the settings used by each audio scene.
