Recording Audio
You can record audio using the built-in microphone, optional external microphone (XLR or MIC
terminal) or line input (XLR terminal). For external microphones or audio sources connected to an XLR
terminal, you can select the audio input independently for channel 1 and channel 2.
Using the Built-in Microphone or an External Microphone Connected to the
MIC Terminal
Record audio with the built-in microphone or an external microphone connected to the MIC terminal.
You can 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.
When using the built-in microphone or an external
microphone connected to the MIC terminal, set the audio
input switch to INT.
• If you connect a microphone to the MIC terminal while the
audio input switch is set to INT, the camcorder will switch
automatically from the built-in microphone to the external
microphone.
To use the WM-V1 Wireless Microphone
Using the WM-V1 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.
