can you connect an external microphone to this camcorder?

I never try to use it. I think you can. But I'm not 100% sure. I have to look at it. I'll try to get back with you today or tomorrow.

Sorry, but I really don't know the answer to that question. Every time I use it, and believe me when I say I use it often, I have never felt the need for an external microphone. Sound is clear and crisp, as is the picture.

No I dont see any option to connect to extr microphone. However my observatiom it captures voice nicely, albeit disadvantage is surrounding noise also get added :(

No external mics included, you have to buy a kit that contains 2 external mics. Which is what I did.

Yes.The camera comes with a 'stereo' mic jack for external mics (next to an accessory terminal).

There is an hdmi mini out which I haven't used, so don't know if it would function the way you want but I'm thinking so. There is an external mic input as well as a headphone jack, though I tried a couple high end shotgun microphones only to get a horrible buzzing sound. The jack works just fine with a lapel mic I tested and a cheap external digital recorder I tried. When I called Sony to find out the tech specks on the jack, they told me it was proprietary info and left me with no help. The store I was working with have up as well helping me find a microphone that would work well with no buzzing. It's a nice camcorder if you can get a used one at a decent price, but for just a little more money there are some better choices. Best of luck on your purchase!

I have not tried it, but a mic with a mini-USB plug ***might*** provide external microphone capabilities.

Kevin W., I just double-checked this specific videocam again. There is no way to connect an external mic. There is 1 slot labeled "AV", but this is merely for playback purposes. The included cord that fits into this slot has at its other end the typical 3 jacks, colored red, yellow, and white.

I don't have the camcorder but check if it has a 3.5mm output if it does you can

Dose not have a auxiliary input jack for that, just the connection for the external mic.

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.

The simple answer is yes, but .... Not all video cameras have microphone jacks. If yours does you will most likely need adaptors cables to connect with the microphone. jack in your video camera and depending on the camera you might also need a hi/low impedance matching transformer. What kind of adaptors will depend on the camera.

No it does not. This camera was not made for that type of purpose.For an external mic input, I would like to recommend Panasonic GH series.

Yes, it has a 3.5 mm external mic jack. You will not be happy with the sound using this mic jack unless you use a preamp such as a Beachtek or Juicedlink.

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.

There is no microphone jack. You will need a USB adapter in order to use an external microphone, such as one for a headset.
