Hi,
I recently got a Canon hf200 camcorder and I really like the quality of it. However, when I borrowed a friend's headset to use as an external microphone and tried it out, it did not work, no sound came out of it. I read the instructor's manual on how to use an external mic, and it told me "when an external microphone is connected to the camcorder (shows icon of camcorder with 2 dots) [wind screen] will automatically be set to [OFF - (then shows a icon that has OFF/microphone sign)]"
Sorry if that's confusing, but thats what it says, and I don't know if I'm supposed to turn the wind screen ON, and if so, how would I do that?
I just want sound coming out of the external mic. Is this problem fixable?
Thanks
