Its just, blank, no sound, its on, has a battery in it, and just doesent work, can anyone help?

 

!THANKS GUYS!

 

I'm not sure...but don't you have to set the external mic in the menu?

Let me check...

hmmmm...maybe it's this: [camera functions]>>[recording setup]>>[mic level adj.]>>[yes]

I just bought this camera, by the way. How long do you have yours? I've heard some good and bad things about it. Like you should never use it as a VCR, because the camera starts to malfunction after a while. The good things: good image quality (for an one CCD camera) and, if you work recording wedings and such, it looks very "professional" (it's a shoulder cam).

By the way, I'm looking for an external mic to it. Any tips?

 

Yea, the camera is very nice quality, i currently dont know what mic i have, but, ill tell you later, ill pm you. Anyways, the mic adjust just is like volume
