Using an External Microphone
Instead of the built-in microphone, commercially-available external
microphones can be used to avoid picking up sounds produced by
the lens during focusing or vibration reduction. Stereo recording is
available with any microphone that has a stereo mini-pin jack
(3.5
mm diameter). Microphone sensitivity can be adjusted in the
Movie settings> Microphone menu (062).
