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 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.

To reduce wind noise, attach the wind screen supplied with the microphone. Refer also to the instruction manual of the DM-100.
