Guide To Using

TASCAM Handheld Recorders

For DSLR Filmmaking

Connecting to your Camera

1.Attach the recorder to your camera using a hot shoe mount (sold separately)

2.Connect an 1/8” cable from the line/headphone output of the recorder to the MIC IN of your camera (also sold sepa- rately, use an attenuator cable if available)

3.Set your camera to use the line/mic input, if necessary

4.To automatically synchronize your video clips with the DR- series recordings, use software like Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, Apple Final Cut Pro X or Singular Software PluralEyes.

Advantages of Audio Recorders

You can assign someone to just record audio, so they can get closer to the talent with a microphone for a better recording.

TASCAM recorders are purpose-built for audio, so setting audio levels and adjusting settings is often as easy as a single button press or switch

You can set the audio recording level to be manual or automatic

TASCAM handheld recorders have a limiter during recording, so that sudden loud sounds won’t be distorted.

The separate line out and headphone out on the DR-100 allows you to listen in headphones while you send a copy of the signal to your camera to sync up later.

A selectable low cut filter allows you to cut bass rumble or wind noise while recording

Dual batteries on the DR-100 allow you to swap batteries for extended battery life – even while recording
