Can you plug an external microphone into this?

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.

No, I don't think so. I just looked at it and there isn't a mic input. I can't imagine any of the other ports supporting this, so I have to so no.

Yes you can and it is a 3.5mm plug. There is also a 3.5mm plug for an external speaker/headphones etc.

If you have a place to plug in headphones, yes. The microphone does not plug into a USB port. Rather, it plugs into the circular headphone audio jack.

You can but the XLR -USB calble will need to have it's own A/D convereter. This is what you are looking for. http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Female-Cable-Instruments-Microphones/dp/B0050CEEIW Check this video out too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY_C3EBiNy0

No, there's an external power supply for this. Just connect the green audio cable.

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

No, there is not an external mic input; however, I haven't felt a need for one. The audio quality of the recordings I have done has been excellent. I also use an Edirol R-09 audio recorder and the Zoom's audio is as good as the Edirol. You can also adjust the directionality of the mic from 30 to 150 degrees, which helps a lot with crowd noise suppression.

Has built in microphone, volume can be a adjusted 1-13 in settings. Not sure what a external mike input needs but there is no jack or plug in on the camera body or in the waterproof access port area.

There an xlr input for external mics. I used a sony wireless system on the cam.

Yes, it's designed to be able to use an external mic. You may have to buy a skeleton housing for it so you can plug it in to the camera and still have it in the case/enclosure... These are around $40, I think.

No, not for an microphone. However, there is an external audio jack for headphones.

No. Unfortunately there isn't an external speaker so you have to use a headset.

Only if your microphone also has an XLR option. There is only the USB connection to the computer not any for USB microphones

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.

Yes it allows connection of an external microphone for special recording applications.

The short answer is.... Yes. However, since it needs to be plugged into the external Mic socket you'll need to check the clearance with the LCD screen flipped out.
