ABOUT THE WIND SCREEN

The camcorder automatically reduces the background sound of wind (only while using the built-in microphone). You can turn the wind screen off when you want the microphone to be as

sensitive as possible ( 59).

Using an External Microphone

Connect the external microphone to the MIC terminal. Use commercially available condenser microphones with their own power supply and a cable no longer than 3 m. You can connect almost any stereo microphone with a

‡3.5 mm plug but audio recording levels may vary.
