CAN I USE AN EXTERNAL MICROPHONE?

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's a microphone input jack that for an external microphone. I haven't used it yet, but that's what it's for. Enjoy your camcorder.

There is no microphone port. THERE IS an AV jack like a three tiered 1/8" Sony (Composite/ Left/ Right) probably for VCR Like transfers. I haven't used this. Generally consumer HD models will not support the extra jacks

No, when you plug in an external mic the external mic overrides the built in microphones

The answer is yes, as long as there is accomidation for the size adapter, directions state built-in plug for either external mic or headphone.

Yes.The camera comes with a 'stereo' mic jack for external mics (next to an accessory terminal).

I have had units with internal microphones and they are not very good when speaking to someone, you sound like you are in a tunnel or to much road noise. An external mic is the only way to go and the wires can be hidden very easily

Hi Ron, My husband has used it more than I have. He says it does have a port to hook up an external microphone as well as the built in one. Hope this helps. It has worked well for the purpose we bought it for.

Sorry No, you can buy these things and external mic if you want extra. the camera is really a great little camera. I use it for bike rides attached to the side of the helmet and it does a great job. (low profile)

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.

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

Yes, it is an external sound card. You will also need a microphone, either stereo or mono.

There is no microphone jack. You will need a USB adapter in order to use an external microphone, such as one for a headset.

No, unless I missed something. I suppose you could record something on a disc and then load it from your computer, but there is no microphone that I know of.

From what I can tell, there is no external mic input on this camera. It only has AV outputs, HDMI output, and USB output. You can only use the internal mic. That being said, the internal mic is pretty good, and even gets decent sound when I record my band with it, at high volume levels. It doesn't overload the mic, which means it has some kind of good auto level control.

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

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.
