Solution
| Solution |
Stereo sound recording is also possible by connecting the Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) to the cameraâs external microphone IN terminal as the external microphone is given the priority.Most external microphones equipped with a 3.5 mm diameter mini plug can be used.
NOTE
- The sound recording level will be adjusted automatically.
NOTE
- You can also freely adjust the sound-recording level.
- The cameraâs built-in microphone will also pick up the operation sound and mechanical sound of the camera during shooting. Use the Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) to reduce these sounds in the movie.
- It is possible to use a microphone that supports plug-in power (which is supplied from a camera to the microphone).
- It is possible to use a condenser microphone. However, it is not possible to use a condenser microphone that requires phantom power (which is supplied from external power equipment to the microphone).
- It is not possible to use a dynamic microphone.
- The impedance of the microphones that can be used with the camera is around 200 Ω to 2KΩ.
