A very popular use for Canon DSLR cameras is to use it for recording video. What are the settings that you need to know when recording video with a Canon DSLR camera? In this video, join Richard Harrington as he walks through how to attach an external microphone to your Canon DSLR camera, so good sound can be recorded.
- While your camera is great at capturing…high quality visuals,…audio is another matter.…The small built-in microphone on your camera…just really doesn't do a great job.…So, if you want to get better audio,…you're going to want to attach a microphone.…Fortunately, your camera has a dedicated port…to make this easier.…For example, you can use something…like a lavalier microphone.…That's what I have here (microphone buzzes).…This end can clip onto your subject,…and it allows to record better dialogue.…
The other end is just a simple connection,…looks a lot like a headphone connector,…but you'll notice that there's a few extra rings on there.…That's used to pass the extra information.…You also may decide that you want…to capture better audio from a distance.…In this case, something like a shotgun mike works very well.…This is designed to slip into your hotshoe.…Just attach it at the top of the camera,…and slide it into place,…and then twist that down (twist adapter clicks).…The camera has a battery inside,…and just a power switch on the back.…
