NOTES
• When using the optional SM-V1 Surround Microphone:
- Change the microphone’s directionality mode with the p > [Surround Mic Directionality]
setting.
- You can enjoy the full effect of recordings made with 5.1ch surround sound on HDTVs compatible
with 5.1ch surround sound connected to the camcorder using the supplied High Speed HDMI
cable. Audio output from the AV OUT and × (headphones) terminals will be converted to 2ch
stereo. The camcorder’s built-in speaker is monaural.
Using the WM-V1 Wireless Microphone
Using the optional WM-V1 Wireless Microphone, 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. For details about using the
WM-V1, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the microphone.
Using Commercially Available Microphones
You can also 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
• To adjust the audio recording level of an external microphone
connected to the MIC terminal, refer to Audio Recording Level
(A 81).
