Can you mute the mic on the camera and use an external mic.

It depends on the application you're using. Skype certainly gives you that option.

The headset does not have a full-mute external option. The only reliable way to cut all audio that is being output by the headset is to globally mute your audio settings in your operating system, or just take the headset off.

Short answer: yes, in line-in and external mic modes disable the internal mics.

I use mine with my windows computer and you can mute the mic using he windows settings, but here is not a way on the headset itself to mute the mic. Hope this helps.

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.

When you hook it up to your camera, if there, in settings go to mic and the change it from built in to external.

No mute button that I can see. It has a button on the back that let's you choose between the three different modes the mic can record under. But no mute. I own the black colored one.

Yes there is a mic, but you also have option on using an external mic with mic jack.

No, there is not an external mic input; however, I haven't felt a need for one. The audio quality of the recordings I have done has been excellent. I also use an Edirol R-09 audio recorder and the Zoom's audio is as good as the Edirol. You can also adjust the directionality of the mic from 30 to 150 degrees, which helps a lot with crowd noise suppression.

It doesn't have a manual switch on the mic itself but you can mute it in the software your using.

There is no actually mute button on the device. The only way I can think of muting your mic is through the game you are running.

yes you can but only if you are using it on Skype or something like that there isn't a switch on the cam per say but as i said if you are using skype you can mute it hope that helps or video quality is the best

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.

To my knowledge, no. The camera will automatically use the external one instead.

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

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