| This
is an after-market modified Sony device
that provides an external microphone jack for any Sony Handycam
equipped with a AIS Hot Shoe on top. The original device made by
Sony, VMC-K100, was unfortunately discontinued in 2007 and they
are very rare to find.
This device is better than the original VMC-K100
because it provides three modes of operation.
Modes of Operation Described:
Each mode is easily chosen with the switch
on the back of device. (see photo)
Off Mode - The external jack
is turned off. All sound is sourced from the handycam's microphone
without having to remove the device. A very nice benefit.
Mode 1: The majority of sound
is sourced from the external microphone (wireless mic, handheld
mic, etc.). A very small amount of ambient sound is allowed from
the handycam's microphone to create a nice depth in the sound field.
Mode 2: You choose the source
of audio with the camera's zoom. At wide angle, all of the sound
is sourced from the handycam's microphone. As you zoom in, the sound
also zooms in to the external microphone source. This is a great
feature for plays, weddings, or seminars where you want the up close
sound of a performer or speaker when zoomed in on them, but also
want the surrounding sound of the audience (clapping, procession
music, talking, etc.) when zoomed out.
Note: For Mode 1 and Mode 2, the speaker/performer
would need a wireless or wired microphone plugged into the adapter
device.
