https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Professional-Video/HF-R72-and-Lavalier-Microphones/m-p/178751#M773 <P>I recently purchased an HF R72 for vlogging, and I'm having trouble with using lavalier microphones with it. When plugged in, I get absolutely no sound unless I manually adjust the microphone&nbsp;sensitivity all the way to 100, and even then I barely hear any audio on the recorded video. I've confirmed that the microphone is fine, so it appears to be the jack. Is this normal behavior for the camcorder? The manual mentions needing powered microphones, and I'm wondering if just using a passive microphone is not an option.</P> Fri, 08 Jul 2016 21:07:42 GMT NockerGeek 2016-07-08T21:07:42Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Professional-Video/HF-R72-and-Lavalier-Microphones/m-p/178751#M773 <P>I recently purchased an HF R72 for vlogging, and I'm having trouble with using lavalier microphones with it.

You might be using something that requires plug-in power.</P> Sun, 24 Jul 2016 02:04:02 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Professional-Video/HF-R72-and-Lavalier-Microphones/m-p/180168#M774 JonKline 2016-07-24T02:04:02Z
