Attaching an external microphone
The camera has a built in microphone on the front of the camera, but it is advisable where
possible to use an external microphone.
Microphones are available as "additional items" when you book your camera via
MyRooms&Resources, or separately as "IC Accessories"
.
Plug the microphone into the red
Mic socket
on the camera, located under the
LCD display
monitor.
Attaching to a tripod
Tripods will steady your shots and are a recommended piece of equipment when videomaking.
Microphones are available as "additional items" when you book your camera via
MyRooms&Resources, or separately as "IC Accessories"
.
First remove the
tripod plate
from the tripod.
On the bottom of the camera there are two
holes that correspond with the screws on the
tripod plate. Line these up, and screw it tightly
together by hand using the screw labelled 1
below. (Note - if this is too tight to turn by hand,
a 20p piece is the perfect size).
