2. Microphones
The in-built microphone on our camera will work all right for
home use. But here we are intended to reach semi-professional level; we have to
buy some smart microphones for better quality sound. Basically there are three
types of microphones available in video industry. Shotgun microphones
are good for pinpointing the exact audio under noisy backgrounds. Also there is
tiny little microphones call Clip-on (Lapel) Microphones. These are
great for capturing consistent audio levels. Handheld microphones are
easy to use and wireless types are available in market.
3. A Player/ Recorder
Player recorder is useful
for play back and record video again and again.
Though there are facilities in our camera to play back, it’s not a good
practice to use all the time. Camera is used for only record not to play back.
Otherwise it may reduce the life time
of the camera. I/O ports should be compatible with other components.
