The microphone on your camcorder is likely quite good, but it's in the wrong place. The voice recorder is a good option but requires a lot more work in post.</p> <p>We recently wrote an article on how to compensate somewhat for on camera mics, hopefully you'll find it useful</p> <p><a href="http://www.videomaker.com/article/14108/">http://www.videomaker.com/article/14108/</a></p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/panasonic-sdr-60-microphone-workaround#post-46973 Tue, 19 May 2009 08:07:09 +0000 sputnik101 46973@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello Monty</p> <p> </p> <p>I am no expert, but one solution could be to use a digital voice recorder with an external mic attached. Then you would have to synchronise the audio and video in your editing software.</p> <p> </p> <p>Hope this helps</p> <p> </p> <p>Sputnik</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/panasonic-sdr-60-microphone-workaround#post-45713 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 15:42:55 +0000 Monty 45713@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>The built in mic is not all that great. There are no jacks for an external mic. Is there a workaround for this or am I stuck? I use the camcorder mostly for recording speeches given in a restaurant/breakfast environment. The Speaker is about 10-12 feet away and I also pick up background noises like knives and forks as people eat breakfast. I am new at all of this and hope there is a reasonable solution.</p>
