Using an External Micrephene
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.

ACCESSORY $HO8 o,_°"
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.

the advanced accessory shoe, .,_°- will

You can also use commercially available
microphones not compatible with the
advanced accessory shoe, by connecting
the external microphone to the MIC

condenser microphones with their own
power supply. You can connect almost
any stereo microphone with a O 3.5 mm
plug but the audio recording level may
vary.
