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.
Operating modes:
Using the SM-V1 Surround Microphone or DM-100 Directional Stereo
Microphone
Using the SM-V1 you can add a sense of depth and presence to your
recordings with 5.1ch surround sound. Using the DM-100 you can
accurately record audio coming directly from the direction you are
recording. In either case, to reduce the amount of noise due to wind,
we recommend that you use the wind screen supplied with the micro-
phone.
Attach the optional SM-V1 Surround Microphone or DM-100
Directional Stereo Microphone to the mini advanced shoe.
Refer to Using the Mini Advanced
Shoe (A 122).
º will appear on the screen. For
details about using the optional
external microphone, refer to the
instruction manual of the acces-
sory used.
