MV4/MV4i/MV4i MC can record sound in two audio modes — 16 bit and 12 bit.
The 16 bit mode produces the higher sound quality (slightly superior to CD)
while the 12 bit mode records on 2 channels (stereo 1), leaving 2 channels free
(stereo 2) for you to add new sound at a later date.

For greater creative control over audio recording, you can connect an external
microphone to the camera via the DU-300 Docking Unit’s MIC terminal.
When using the MIC terminal, use a microphone with a built-in power supply
(condenser microphone). It is possible to connect almost any stereo microphone
with a plug diameter of 3.5 mm (
1
/8 in), however, their audio levels will be
different from that of the built-in microphone.
Attach the microphone to the optional SA-1 Adapter Bracket.
