[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 331838, member: 12496"] Is it a mono microphone? See the picture of connector here (at right side): [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_%28audio%29#Modern_connectors"]Phone connector (audio) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/URL] A mono cable has only the one tip. A stereo cable has the tip and also another band (and then the base ring). A three wire connection instead of two wires. So a mono mic cable into the camera stereo jack only makes connections with two pins... not all three pins. The camera can record stereo, but a mono microphone will only go to one channel. There are some exceptions, some mono microphones that are wired into both channels. Here is an adapter that should put your mono microphone into both channels [url]http://www.amazon.com/Cables-40634-Stereo-Adapter-Metallic/dp/B000O7AW98/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1405392946&sr=1-3&keywords=mono-to-stereo+adapter[/url] [/QUOTE]
