Using an External Microphone

You can attach a commercially available
microphone for recording movies.
When recording in very quiet
surroundings, the built-in microphone
may pick up the sound of the
camcorder's internal machinery. In such
case, we recommend using an external
microphone.

Connecting a Microphone

Connect the external microphone to the
MIC terminal. Use commercially
available condenser microphones with
their own power supply. You can
connect almost any stereo microphone
with a

∅ 3.5 mm plug but audio

recording levels may vary.

IMPORTANT

Make sure to check the audio recording
level before recording with the external
microphone (

79).
