Input and Monitoring
Normally sound is fed into the camera by means
of a microphone. The camera is provided with
Dynamic Microphone DM 40 R. This microphone
has two plugs, one for the MIC socket and one
for the REMOTE socket. When the correspond
ing plug is plugged into the REMOTE socket,
filming can be started by pressing either the
shutter release lever on the camera or the remote
release button on the microphone. If you use the
remote release button, filming will continue as
long as the button is pressed and will stop when
you withdraw your finger from the button even if
the R/RL switch is at "RL”. If you do not intend
to use the remote release button, disconnect
the cord from the REMOTE socket to prevent
accidental filming by pressing the remote
button.
This particular microphone is omnidirectional
and may pick up the sound of the film drive
and background noise when filming in quiet
places. For best results, take it as close to the
sound source as possible. If it is necessary to
have someone else hold the microphone while
filming, be sure to instruct that person not to
knock the microphone, rub it or pull its cord
