Does it not connect into your camera somewhere? I only see earbuds, I thought you need to connect it directly to your sony camera as well

Yes, the receiver unit attaches to the top of the camera through a port called an "interactive shoe."

The receiving unit attaches to the hot shoe on the camera. The mic runs by itself with AA battery. the ear buds work if you want to monitor what the mic is picking up. i use this set for plays by hanging the mic from a light over the stage front and record from the back of the theater. really works well. I also use in a big school auditorium about 200'+ away and still works.

On my camera, there is a little flap that covers the equivalent of the 'hot shoe'. If you pry it up, you'll see where it interfaces with the camera. I hope this helps!

It connects to the shoe on top of the camera. You may also use an ear bud if you like, but it is powered through the shoe.

It connects directly into the camera through the shoe. No need for anything else...

It is connected on the top of the camera. Your camera must have a hot shoe for that.

Okay, first thing you must and I cant stress this enough but you must know how your camera mic jack is wired. All of my cameras that I use are canon and pentax. They are all stereo mic inputs. That means it uses 3 connectors. If you dont know what I am talking about... Take a look at a plug on a pair of headphones vs the plug that is on the mic. Chances are your camera is wire like this or real similar. I do not use the cable that comes with the mic. I use one made by Hosa that has XLR on the mic end and it has a 3 connectore(stereo)plug on the camera end. The mic is not stereo, it just simply sends the same mic signal to the tip and the ring on the stereo plug. The cable in known as a dual mono cable. If you do not use this cable the adapter that you get with the mic will ground the mic line and quite possibly do what you are experiencing. I use this mic in many situations and it works great. I get great results everytime but again it is very important that you use the right connector cable.

I actually received this product as a reward from coca-cola... anyways... if you, like me, have one that does have a mic cable attached to the camera, then there is a built in microphone. You have to manually select it from your control panel, but it's there, it works. As far as where in the device it is... I don't know. I know that I get the best sound when I talk directly towards the lens. Manufacturer Support Page : http://www.shophde.com/a32i.html

From what I understand, there is no microphone input jack for this camera. I've had the camera for a while now and I've wondered if it had this feature. What kind of microphone do you use for your other cameras?

I found the same to be the issue I had as well as the charging connect becoming loose. If you just received the camera I would try to return it. The one I had worked for two months then it stopped. I caulked it up to lesson leaned

Same problem here, I think Sony should send out new camera's I have only had mine for a couple months.I lost my son's wedding pictures.

Hey, I haven't really heard one yet, but if your camera has a 3.5mm headphone jack, don't use the included 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter because it is cheap and it may make some noise. You can purchase a quality adapter on eBay, Amazon, or Radio Shack. Hope this helps!! ;)

Put it in your camera and hook the camera up to the charger... Is the "Sony way"...

there is a internal mic located adjacent to the webcam, however mine built-in mic is not working. I don't know if others are having the same problem. I just got my AAO yesterday... I'm returning my shipment back to Amazon.

It connected perfectly but the camera came back with a message that it did not recognize the lens and would not take a picture. I have not set the camera in the total manual mode to try that yet and that may be the answer. However, since the connectors are so thick they make the camera with the attached lens very uncomfortable. Hope this helps.

I haven't tested it yet with v2.00-v2.01 yet but before v2.00 it does not connect what so ever due to Sony not allowing us to use blutooth for our own good as of yet.

It is indeed a custom / proprietary plug that goes into the headphone end of the cable, not your standard 3.5mm. from close examination, it seems that the plug is slightly longer, and maybe reaches a clip slightly further inside the jack than a normal 3.5mm plug. I am also disappointed by this, but sony doesn't sell their own cables on the side to make money either, so I don't know what's up. anyway, if you want more cables you'll need to call sony's customer support for them

They don't actually connect to your camcorder using Bluetooth, on connect between the receiver and mic. There is a 3.5mm jack on the mic so if your cam has a 3.5 input then your good. I actually use a 3.5mm to XLR to connect it.

I can't help you there, mine connects just fine, but I hope you didn't format the MP3 player beforehand, I remember seeing something in the instructions booklet about it. I don't have personal experience with your error but I would refer to the manual for any troubleshooting of that sort.

Hi Linda, I can't answer your question because I gave this radio to my father as a gift, and he has no need for earbuds. The ony help I can offer is that you e-mail Sony's customer service department. If they say the radio is adaptable, I can vouch for Sony earbuds--I use them on my Walkman and on my iPhone, and they're great!

You have to pair it like you would a ear piece. You might need to purchase the adapter if that doesn't work.

Haven't had that problem with mine. Be sure your cable is securely plugged into your camera and mic is my only suggestion.
