Recording Audio Recording Audio You can record audio using the built-in microphone, optional external microphone (XLR or MIC terminal) or line input (XLR terminal). For external microphones or audio sources connected to an XLR terminal, you can select the audio input independently for channel 1 and channel 2. Operating modes: 73 Using the Built-in Microphone or an External Microphone Connected to the MIC Terminal Record audio with the built-in microphone or an external microphone connected to the MIC terminal. You can 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. When using the built-in microphone or an external microphone connected to the MIC terminal, set the audio input switch to INT. • If you connect a microphone to the MIC terminal while the audio input switch is set to INT, the camcorder will switch automatically from the built-in microphone to the external microphone. Audio input switch To use the WM-V1 Wireless Microphone Using the WM-V1 you can reliably record sound even when recording subjects at a distance exceeding the practical range of the built-in microphone. You can also mix and record audio from the WM-V1 with audio from the built-in microphone. MIC terminal
