How can I use the zoom h1 as a dslr mic.? If it is possible do I have to press record on the zoom h1 and and press the record button on the dslr whe

It all depends where you want the Audio recorded to. If you intend to record the sound onto the video media, all you really have to do is connect the audio out from the H1 to the microphone input onboard the camera. From there, you only need to turn the H1 ON. (you can test this by just plugging some headphones into the H1 output, then turn up the input sensitivity while the device is on, it works like a hearing aid :). I recommend giving it a test run, especially with tuning your H1's sensitivity (i.e. its input level). Getting the sensitivity tuned for the setting you are recording in is critical to getting a good quality signal. (lookup H1 Clipping). Oh, to answer you. NO, you don't have to press record on the zoom to get the audio out of it, UNLESS you are recording the audio ONTO the H1 Memory separate from the Camera, then mixing it later.

I use it that way currently. It is very good sound, and I use it at the end of a boom pole since I don't have other materials. The sound is more about getting a good level on the H1, keeping positioning during the take, and EQ. You press record on the H1, also on the dslr, then its easy to sync it up in post.

I'm not too sure about this question since it's a stand alone device, maybe someone can answer this and if all else fails.. there's always Google.

yes. I have seen reviews that say you can't if the microphone is on. I haven't tested that. It may be true. You can zoom in video though. Do a search on youtube. Someone in Vancouver made a video with one of these cameras showing how it looks when zooming in video.

Welcome! Video was taken using a Nikon Cool Pix P100 camera not the zoom 2QHD although the zoom can take hi-definition video that is decent. The sound was edited in later.

Does that mic have the right end to plug into your recorder? Isn't that lav mic is for a wireless mic transmitter? It appears you are able to plug a wireless mic into the zoom, with the appropriate 1/8" end, and then you have some settings to adjust in the menu.

For recording live music, I have used an external Zoom recorder which then fed the audio input of the GH3. Because the Zoom's levels were already hot, I had to turn down the sensitivity of the GH3 audio ins and also cut the output of the Zoom otherwise a nasty limiter effect from the GH3 would engage. With the GH3, be careful not to record too hot even with the on-board mics which are just OK. I also used a Stereo Video Mic Pro from Rode but did not use the +20 db setting as it would have been too hot. Bottom line, GH3 has plenty of it's own preamp gain so if using external mics, be careful of overloading your levels and turn down the GH3's sensitivity.

can set it by just touching the control before taking the picture and after taking a photo can use it again when reviewing a photo you have taken. For example, I used the zoom while taking photos at Worlds End, PA and when reviewing photos used it again on a photo I was looking at and discovered that were 3 actual people in a creek that I had no idea were there when taking the photo.........felt like a real paparazzi!!

All of these other answers are wrong! As long as you have the H/W Version B.1 you can talk to people on the viewing end of this camera. You have to do it while using mydlink.com. There is a microphone button that you click on and you have to activate it in settings. The audio quality is questionable but it is a two-way audio camera. I use it quite frequently to annoy my wife.

Although I have not used the Zoom H6 in this type of situation, I believe it will work according to the settings in the manual. However to be absolutely sure, please contact Zoom support.

I use it for external audio with my canon dslr's. The preamp in those cameras is pretty lousy, so expect mediocre sound quality. I use an external audio recorder for it and sync the audio in post. I use the H1 Zoom and get excellent audio quality. Definitely the recommended method of recording audio with those cameras. I love this audio technica set as well. Sounds really great.

Actually, yes you can zoom while shooting video. I just purchased this camera and it zoomed in and out for me while recording. The previous answer is not correct.

Since you seem to need an external microphone and the Zoom is a microphone, the answer is yes.

I have the same microphone and used my iphone4 to record and only got the recording through the onboard mic. The lapel is great but I think it is set up for use with recorders. I use it with the ZoomH1 but you could use a cheaper recorder http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-V404130BU000-VN-7200-Digital-Recorder/dp/B005756GYM/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1400082788&sr=1-6&keywords=mp3+recorder

If is was me...I recommended check this under the Zoom H1 manual.It might help answer your question.

Sharon, by default, when you turn on the camera, the camera is already in a regular picture taking mode. However, when you use your finger to turn the zoom control slider switch which is directly below the shutter button, then the camera goes into the zoom (telephoto) feature. Just slide this zoom control switch all the way to the left for regular picture taking. Anyhow, go to the Panasonic support web site and download the instructions manual. Also, in the camera menu setup features, there is a option for turning off digital zoom. I think that is what you mean (?????). Sharon, please take the time to read and really play (experiment) with all the camera features. I plan on selling this model because the images are not up to my standards. Instead, I just purchased the Sony HX200V and the images are way better than the Panasonic FZ60K. Chuck

It does not, since the t3 does not have an external microphone input. If you are purchasing a camera I would go with the t3i or t2i since they have mic inputs. If you have the t3 I would suggest getting the zoom h1 and record to that if you want a mic. If you want a better mic however I would go with thishttp://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=190806778822&index;=6&nav;=SEARCH&nid;=52424283937It is only a little bit more expensive but has a shock mount which proves invaluable. If you have any more questions feel free to contact me my email is agbobeck@yahoo.com

Yes, the speaker is pretty good actually for a recorder of this size. In that sense it is better than my Zoom H1.
