That would be the reason. Where the camera is is never where the mic needs to be. Didn't see any movie though, just sound. d |

Didn't see any movie though, just sound. OK, that was a MOV which I kept at full resolution (21.7 Mb) to best represent the achieved sound quality - if you wish to see the movie, here's a 'Good Quality' Mpeg2 hacked down to 5 Meg which won't have done both the video and sound any favours: http://www.moirac.adsl24.co.uk/shown...ndMicMPEG2.mpg |

Is the socket for a stereo mic or a mono one? If it is a mono one, it is probably powered the same way a PC mic is. There will be plenty of mics around that will do the job - the main thing is to get it closer to the instrument so you don't get as much room. d |

Here's all the User Manual has on the subject: http://www.moirac.adsl24.co.uk/showntell/KodakMic.jpg I would get a suitable mic for it out of curiosity, but I'm not sure it would work out very practicable..?? |

OK, that gives the necessary. You can get stereo mics for this from several good makers. No time to look them up right now, but a few make stereo mics. Alternatively you can make up a cable and a couple of connectors to feed one or two of your current mics into the camera. d |

I wouldn't mind a pointer if it's not too much trouble - so far, all I've come up with is karaoke mics costing about 2 quid which, I suspect, wouldn't better the built-in mic! |
