Camera Mic
A camera mic has been provided and is mounted on
top of the camera unit. It connects to either Front 1 or
Front 2 on the front right-side of the camera.

mic is of lesser sound quality than that used for
recording dialog. Camera mics should only be used to
record ambient or natural sound and not dialog.
