Using the Zoom Microphone

Available modes: TAPE-CAMERA, DUAL-
CAMERA
With the supplied zoom microphone, you can
record audio according to the magnification of
the zoom lens to produce the optimum sound.
You can also set the zoom microphone to
record only sounds at a distance.
Mounting the Zoom Microphone
1
Hold the zoom microphone as shown in
the figure, and mount it to the accessory
shoe by sliding it in the direction of the
arrow until it locks into place.

2
Turn the screw in the direction of the
arrow to secure the zoom microphone.
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.
• 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
Zoom Microphone mode options
AUTO: The camcorder automatically selects
the optimum sound according to the magnifi-
cation 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 micro-
phone is turned off.)
OFF: The zoom microphone is turned off and
the built-in microphone is turned on. This
allows you to record a wider range of sound
than with the zoom microphone.
