CExternal Microphones

Instead of the built-in microphone, a commercially available microphone can be connected to the external microphone connector (A5) to record sound during movie recording or voice memos for still pictures (A132). Use an external microphone that conforms to the specifications of “External microphone connector” in “I/O terminal” (A218) in “Specifications.”

•When the external microphone is connected, Wind noise reduction (A150) in the movie menu cannot be used.
