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 :(

Mine did not come with an external mic nor does it have a place you can connect an optional external mic. It does though have exceptional audio receive. I find the built-in mic has great quality.

Elizabeth, Go Pro makes a mic adapter to allow using an external microphone - there are a few good videos on YouTube that explain how to use one.

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 microphone. Some cables offered have mic wire for external mic or different model.

Just to let you know you're not alone in wondering about an external mic input. I have two high-quality wireless microphones and a lot of experience using them. I won't consider a camcorder if it doesn't have an external audio input. I am disappointed that you haven't received a reply. Good Luck!

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.

Yes to the HDMI. External mike -I don't think so. The built in mike works great. Overall I've found this camcorder to be superb. Very easy to use, with responsive controls. I use a 32GB card in mine and when we're at the beach I set it on a small tripod to film our outing and the kids playing.

I don't think so, maybe with an adapter cable? See http://www.aquatix.com/lanc_camcorders.htm

While the camera does not have a standard external microphone input, it does have a micro usb multiport that could be used to record from a microphone with a micro usb connector. Adapters are available to convert the inputs from a microphone with a 1/8" or 1/4" plug connection. I am not sure about xlr configurations. Microphones with micro usb connectors are also available. You could also use a standard usb connector with a micro adaptor.

I did not find a external mic jack. However there is a mic on the radio itself and the instructions say that you can record off the radio or tape or from a external source such as someone talking. We have not tried it nor do we plan to.

The camera has audio in, and it is good. But, if you want a very good sound you could use a external mike. It could put on the camera.

Most cameras usually have an auxiliary port for external microphones. If your camcorder does, you will need to buy an XLR-to-AUX converter cable separately.

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!

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.

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

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.
