Recording Audio
The camcorder features 2-channel MPEG-4 AAC-LC audio recording and playback. You can record audio using
the built-in microphone, the mini advanced shoe and optional DM-100 Directional Stereo Microphone or the MIC
72
terminal (commercially available microphones).
When recording outdoors in the open, the built-in microphone may record loud audible wind noise. In such
cases, using an external microphone with a foam cover or wind screen is recommended.
Operating modes:
Using an External Microphone
Using the DM-100 Directional Stereo Microphone you can accurately record audio mainly from the direction
where the camcorder is pointing. To reduce wind noise, attach the wind screen supplied with the microphone.
Refer also to the instruction manual of the DM-100.
To the MIC terminal you can attach commercially available condenser microphones with their own power supply,
and a ∅ 3.5 mm stereo mini plug.
Connect the optional DM-100 Directional Stereo Microphone to the mini advanced shoe (A 71).
Connect other external microphones to the MIC terminal.
NOTES NOTES
• When using an optional DM-100 Directional Stereo Microphone attached to the camcorder, if you operate the
zoom while recording, the microphone may pick up and record lens operation sounds.
• When using an external microphone, if you use the built-in Wi-Fi functions while recording, noise may be
recorded due to interference from the wireless communication. With microphones connected to the MIC
terminal, if possible, keep the microphone away from the camcorder while recording.
