Using the Zoom Microphone
(Optional Accessory)
With the optional zoom microphone, you can
record audio according to the magnification of
the zoom lens for producing the optimum
sound. You can also set the zoom microphone
to record only sounds at a distance.
Mounting the Zoom Microphone
1
Align the mounting pin of the zoom
microphone with the mounting hole on
the camcorder, and slide the zoom
microphone in the direction of the arrow
until it locks into place.

Removing the zoom microphone
Turn the screw in the opposite direction than
when mounting, and then pull off the zoom
microphone.
Cautions:
• Use the zoom microphone with the windscreen
left on. Taking the windscreen off will significantly
increase the volume of wind and other
background sounds.
• Do not pick up the camcorder by the zoom
microphone, as this may cause the camcorder
or zoom microphone to break down.

Selecting Zoom Microphone Mode
Select a Zoom Microphone mode option when
the zoom microphone is mounted.
Zoom Microphone mode options
AUTO: The camcorder automatically selects
the optimum sound according to the
magnification of the zoom lens. When the
zoom lens is at a wide-angle setting, the built-
in microphone is used to record sounds. As
the zoom magnification increases, the sounds
from the zoom microphone and built-in
microphone are mixed according to the zoom
setting.
TELE: The zoom microphone is fixed to record
sounds at a distance. (The built-in
microphone is turned off.)
OFF: The zoom microphone is turned off. (The
built-in microphone is on.)
