Can you use an external microphone with this camera?

I don't think so. I cannot find an input. I didn't even think to check until after we bought it.

Hi Mona, yes, you can connect external accessories such as a mic to the Multi Interface shoe of the camcorder. Thanks_Mitch

Possibly if the camera has an XLR port for audio. I'm not 100% sure though.

This particular camera does indeed have an input jack for an external microphone. That's what I love about this camera. Not only does it have a microphone jack but it also has a built in mic. Depending on what you want to use the camera for, that may be enough for you. Me, personally, I needed this camera to do small interviews that could be uploaded to social media. For this task, and after a lot of research, I went with the Audio Technica ATR288 VHF Battery Powered TwinMic Microphone System. It comes with two lapel mics, one hand held mic, a receiever and a transmitter. I love the fact that the receiver can attach itself to this camera. I also bought the Must Have Accessory Kit for Canon. The kit comes with everything you'll need, including an external microphone that can be attached to the camera itself. Hope this helps...:-)

I am considering those suggestions but i gotta be sure those cameras do have an external microphone output so i can use the Azden WMS-PRO Wireless Microphone System with.

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!

comes with built-in microphone, but you have the option of adding an external one also. With in-operation chose of which one you want to use

No microphone. Some cables offered have mic wire for external mic or different model.

If this camera has a built in microphone you would be able to receive audio signals but not send audio signals to it . If it does not have a built in microphone you can use an external one. For this to take place you will need one of these: VCR,DVD or DVR recorder.

Yes you can use this setup to record right to the camera, or you can use an external recorder like a Zoom H4N etc.

I would have to agree with the previous answers non expandable does not support external mics

From my research, it does not have an external microphone jack. Some reviews I've found: http://www.t3.com/reviews/cameras/camcorders/panasonic-hm-ta1-review

Hello, This HomeMonitor HD Pro is one-way (listening) audio only and does not have the capability to add an external microphone. Thank you, Network Camera Store

The camera itself does not have an external jack, but you can certainly opt to use your own microphone plugged into a USB or mike port. On my system (XPP), the webcam software detected the other mike and automatically used that one for videos. If it doesn't, you can go to settings and tell it which mike to use. Although the mike on this is adequate, it isn't exceptional and you buy this web cam for the video not the sound. I prefer an external mike for sound anyway as the on-camera ones are positioned wrong and don't have the optimal sound quality

Yes there is a built in mic it cannot record without one. However; I think you can even plug in an external mic also.

Unfortunately Sony did not have the foresight to add an external Mic port. However, it DOES have dual Stereo speakers/microphones in the front directly below the lens. I was fortunate enough to buy three of these before the price became astronomical. Excellent sound, even without the external mic!!!

Thank you for contacting us. The item you are inquiring about does not come with a port to plug in an external microphone.
