Using an External Microphone
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.

You can attach to the advanced
accessory shoe on the camcorder an
optional DM-50 Directional Stereo
Microphone or any commercially
available microphone compatible with the
advanced accessory shoe. For details,
refer to the instruction manual of the
microphone.
When a video accessory is attached to
the advanced accessory shoe,

You can also use commercially available
microphones not compatible with the
advanced accessory shoe, by connecting
the external microphone to the MIC
terminal. 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 the
audio recording level may vary.
NOTES
Be careful when attaching a very long external
microphone; it may appear on the screen.
