all other on-screen displays are turned off:
The icons and (in
mode), the icon and AF frames when the
autofocus is locked (in mode),
screen markers (both recording modes).
Using an External Microphone
You can use a commercially available
microphone, for example to record
audio more accurately.
Connect the external microphone to
the MIC terminal.
NOTES
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.
When an external microphone is
connected to the camcorder,
[WIND SCREEN] will automatically be set
to [ OFF ].
About the Data Code
With every scene or still image
recorded, the camcorder keeps a data
code (date/time of recording,
information about the camera setup,
etc.). In mode, this
information is displayed on the bottom
bar and as information icons; in
mode, you can select the
information to be displayed with the
[DATA CODE] setting ( 70).
