Using other microphones You can also use commercially available microphones. Connect the external microphone to the MIC terminal. Use commercially available condenser microphones with their own power supply. You can connect almost any stereo microphone with a ∅ 3.5 mm plug but audio recording levels may vary. NOTES • When using the optional SM-V1 Surround Microphone, change the microphone's directionality mode with the 7 8 [Surround Mic Directionality] setting. • Playing back recordings made with the optional SM-V1 Surround Microphone: You can enjoy 5.1ch surround sound playback on HDTVs compatible with 5.1ch surround sound connected to the camcorder using an HDMI cable. Audio output from the AV OUT/X terminal (including headphone output) will be converted to 2ch stereo. The camcorder's built-in speaker is monaural. • When an external microphone is connected to the camcorder, 7 8 [Wind Screen] will automatically be set to [B Off Z]. • If the audio level is too high and the sound gets distorted, adjust the audio recording level manually (0 80) or activate the microphone attenuator with the 7 8 [Microphone Attenuator] setting. Using a Zoom Remote Controller By attaching the optional RA-V1 Remote Control Adapter to the mini advanced shoe, you can use the optional ZR-2000 or ZR-1000 Zoom Remote Controller. Doing so will allow you to use certain functions while viewing the picture on an external monitor without touching the camcorder. This is particularly useful while the camcorder is mounted on a tripod and you want to ensure maximum stability of a shot. Operating modes: Video Š 85
