Microphone Jack [MIC] (PV-GS15 Only)
• When connecting an external microphone
or audio equipment to this jack, the built-in
microphone does not operate.
• A compatible plug-in powered microphone can
be used. Please consult your dealer for more
information.
• The microphone may make noises depending
on the type used. In this case, we recommend
using the battery with the Camcorder to reduce
noises instead of the AC Adaptor.
