How to Use External Microphone
The camera has a built in omnidirectional microphone.
if
a
unidirectional
microphone
is
desired,
use
the
op-
tional condenser microphone (VM-1610). To install the
condenser microphone, attach it into the accessory shoe
on
the
top
of
the
camera,
and
tighten
the
screw.
Insert
the microphone plug into the EXT MIC JACK on the
camera. In this case, built-in microphone will not
operate.
!f
microphones
other
than
the
VM-1610
are
desired, use a —65dB high impedance microphone.
The microphone jack is required a mini-jack with a dia-
meter of 3.5mm.
