Care exercised with the microphone will determine the sound quality

1. More than 1 m (3 ft) between mike and camera
The microphone provided is omni-directional and will pick
up camera running noise if placed too close to the camera.
Always keep the microphone at least 1 m (3 ft) away from
the camera .
2. Position mike close to the sound source
Always place the microphone as close to the sound source as
possible, especially when there is a large amount of back-
ground noise, to make the object sound more conspicuous.
When it is difficult to position the mike close to the object
sound, employ a uni-directional telescopic condenser micro-
phone or FM wireless microphone (both optional).

3. Wind screen plays an important part
Employing the wind screen (provided) does not degrade the
sound quality in any way and may be used all the time . Be
sure to employ the wind screen, especially when using the
microphone outdoors or close to the mouth, since wind
noise or breathing will make the recorded sound difficult
to hear and understand.
4. Vibrations are an enemy of the microphone
Vibrations caused by the microphone being passed from one
hand to the other or pulling the microphone cord are re-
corded as noise. Do not rub or beat on the microphone.
