can this camera be used with an external mic?

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.

Hi, this Sony Camcorder doesn't have any microphone jack (IN) for external mic. -Ely

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.

yes you can, if you using Skype. I purchased this microfon from Aliexpress.com http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6290193319.html and have disabled builtin microphone in camera via Skype settings. Sound is good but do not expect too much image quality at such a cheap camera.

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.

As long as your camcorder has a 1/8" stereo mini plug jack for an external mic, yes. I havent tried it myself, but it should work just fine. If you have video/audio editing software, you could just let the h2n record live during your video, the mix in the wave or mp3 sound file in at that time...it really has a lot of flexibility. Hope that helps. :)

Yes. I have used this camcorder on multiple occassions with a MIC in - both from an external MIC I own and a soundboard. Both work perfectly.

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

Hi, yes you may be able to connect an external microphone to this Sony camera. This unit has microphone jack (stereo mini plug). -Ely

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.

Its probably not going to work. The audio have on the camera is stereo and this mic plus is mono. You may be able to find an adaptor at Radio Shack that would convert the plug to stereo at which point it would work.

No, it doesn't appear to have an external mic jack, but that hasn't been a problem for my purposes. It picks up sound very well. It has two mics (stereo) on the front under the lens.

basically any external microphone will work. The camera has a 3.5mm input, so the mic will either need that input or for it to be converted.

No, it doesn't have input for external mic. Also, please see my review for the camera. We had a problem with ours in that the battery didn't hold charge more than 30 minutes. I actually returned these and bought some panasonic cameras which did keep battery charge and came with AC adapter, everything.

I have the gorilla pod for mine and I use it at least twice a week to record church sermons which I then post onto youtube. I don't know of an external mic although I've never had to use one the sound is great. I never have any trouble hearing the pastor from half way back in the church. Kim

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