Can you hook an external microphone into the camera to improve sound recording?

When I looked at the description if the camera, it did not indicate that it had an external mic input. If it does, and you still want to try it, you will also need an adapter cable to convert the male xlr on the microphone to a mini plug. Good luck!

no. the only way i know of to use an external mic with this camera is to sync some separately recorded audio using editing software (you can do this by looking at the visual image of the recorded sound). But for many purposes it would be much easier to just buy a camera that has a mic jack.

I suppose you could use the headphone output to record on an external recording device. You cannot record directly on the memory card.

Yes it can record audio as well, and you can here it remotely too if you want. Best camera setup I have ever had!

You can connect it using the instructions here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16M8_vzwAVrhhu8uGgZcbKfx4moTB-EBN-nuHmyhljU8/edit However, without modifying your camera as described, the microphone can not be connected to it as it has no external 3.5mm input.

This microphone will work for that but the quality will not be great. In order to capture the voice loud enough you would have to turn up the sensitivity in your camera which will add in a hissing noise. It will be alot better than the internal mic especially if your using a dslr.

There is a built in condenser mic as well as a 3.5mm jack for an external mic if you wish to use that instead. From the manual: "You can also use commercially available microphones. Connect the external microphone to the MIC terminal. Use commercially available condenser microphones with their own power supply. You can connect almost any stereo microphone with a 3.5mm plug but audio levels may vary."

There is no external audio input. I just use a separate audio recording system and sync it back into the video during post production. Unfortunate, but at this price? It's worth it.

Yes you can use this setup to record right to the camera, or you can use an external recorder like a Zoom H4N etc.

You can do that but, you would need to buy an extra memory chip that goes in the back of the mic.

You would use one of the audio inputs for plugging in this microphone. Most systems have a setting for mapping which microphone input goes to which camera. You would use the output to output audio to an external speaker for live playback of audio. You would have to have a speaker with an rca type connector to do so.

I have not explored the option but from my installing it, it does not seem possible without an external recording device from the output on the device.

You would have to hook up the output or headphones to whatever device you want to record on but there is no internal recording functions.

if I understand you correctly, the answer is no, just microphone to record sound

If i am not wrong the camera does not have a Mic input, only the built in. You shoul be able to capture some natural sound, if you need better audio quality i would recomend another camera.

Sorry but no. Like most similar recorders, plugging onto one of the connectors from an external source disables the built-in mics. To do what you are asking requires an external mixer.
