Jvc GR-D347 Microphone help?

Question

I currently have a Jvc GR-D347 and this camcorder does not have a mic input and i was wondering if theres any ways that i could increase the mic pick up thing

Answer 1

If you don't have a mic jack on the camcorder you don't have a lot of choices.  If you mean by "increase mic pick up" that the sound is too low on your tape than there are a few things you can do.  The first thing is get the camcorder closer to the source of the sound - that will make it louder.  The second thing would be to increase the volume on the source of the sound i.e. get the person to speak up etc.  The third thing is to make sure you remove any extra unwanted sources of sound as much as possible.  Record in a quiet place if possible.  Also recording in rooms with a lot of hard surfaces that create echos also takes away from the sound.  I hope this helps.
