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
