To attach the optional microphone (AJ MC700) to the
camera proceed as follows:
a. Open the microphone holder by unscrewing the
knurled screw (1) of the microphone support bracket
(2) on the viewfinder and open.
b. Slide the microphone into the split tube until the
microphone shoulder reaches the mark (5) in the
tube.
c. Place the tube with the microphone into the holder
with the split facing upwards.
d. Ensure that the rubber supports at the back and
front of the holder fit into the rims (6) around the
tube.
e. Close the holder and tighten the knurled screw at
the top.
f. Connect the microphone cable to audio connector
(3) (mic) on the right side of the camera.
g. Place the microphone cable into the top clip at the
front of the camera and into clip (4) at the side of the
camera.(Pull and twist clip (4) to open it.)
Other microphones with a diameter of 21mm can also
be used, however, ensure that the phantom power
and the sensitivity of the input that match that type of
microphone are correctly selected in the camera
systems menu. Refer to Section 6 for more information
on selecting the audio inputs and controlling the
audio level.
Note:
· When longer microphones are used, it is not
necessary to place them in the split tube.
· For optimum operation, the microphone should be
mounted as straight as possible.
· Don’t allow the wind hood to touch the holder (7) as
this reduces the damping effect.
· By placing the split facing upwards, the microphone
cable does not touch the holder thus avoiding
mechanical pick-up.
