_ Recording with an Extema| MicmphQne
You can attach a commercially available
microphone equipped with an accessory
shoe.
Refer also to the instruction manual of the
microphone.
1. Attach the microphone to the
accessory shoe.
2. When using a commercially
available microphone, connect it
to the MIC terminal.
O When recording in silent places, the built-in microphone may pick up the motor
noise of the camcorder. In such case, we recommend using an external
microphone.
O When using a commercially available microphone:
- Use a microphone with built-in power supply (condenser microphone). Almost
all stereo microphones with a plug diameter of 3.5 mm (0.14 in.) can be
connected. The audio level may differ from that of the built-in microphone.
- Long microphones may appear on the screen.
