How do I record sound on the Canon ZR950?

Question

From what I've read there is no built in mic and i don't know the first thing about camcorders. What sort of mic would I need to buy to record sound.

Please confirm if their isn't a built in mic first please.

Answer 1

The Canon ZR950 has a built-in stereo mic.

This camcorder does not have a mic jack to use an external mic. This camcorder does not have manual audio control - this is only important if you are trying to record REALLY LOUD or really low audio.

Here is a link to the Canon ZR950 product page. Download the manual.

refer to page 96 to confirm the built-in stereo mic. ("Microphone: Stereo electret condenser microphone")
