Using an External Microphone
When recording in very quiet surroundings, the built-in microphone may pick up the sound of the
camcorder’s internal machinery. When recording outside, the built-in microphone may pick up
excessive noise from wind. In such cases, we recommend using an external microphone with a wind
screen.
Using the SM-V1 Surround Microphone or DM-100 Directional Stereo
Microphone
Using the SM-V1 you can add a sense of depth and presence to your recordings with 5.1ch surround
sound. Using the DM-100 you can accurately record audio coming directly from the direction you are
recording. In either case, to reduce the amount of noise due to wind, we recommend that you use the
wind screen supplied with the microphone.
Attach the optional SM-V1 Surround Microphone or DM-100 Directional Stereo Microphone
to the mini advanced shoe.

optional external microphone, refer to the instruction manual of

Using 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.
