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.
Using the DM-100 Directional Stereo
Microphone
Attach the optional DM-100
Directional Stereo Microphone to the
mini advanced shoe.

appears. For details about using
the microphone, refer to the instruction
manual of the DM-100.
Using other microphones
You can also use commercially
available microphones. 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.
NOTES
• When an external microphone is
connected to the camcorder,
[Wind Screen] will automatically be set
to [ Off ].
• If the audio level is too high and the
sound gets distorted, activate the
microphone attenuator ( 95) or adjust
the audio recording level manually
( 53).
