Can you attach an external microphone to the Sanyo VPC-FH1A?

I had not thought of doing that so I have looked my camera over. It has USB, a HDMI, and component/AV ports but I do not see any port that I would identify as a mike port. I have misplaced the booklet that came with the camera so could not search that. I hope this helps...

From what I can tell, there is no external mic input on this camera. It only has AV outputs, HDMI output, and USB output. You can only use the internal mic. That being said, the internal mic is pretty good, and even gets decent sound when I record my band with it, at high volume levels. It doesn't overload the mic, which means it has some kind of good auto level control.

You can but the XLR -USB calble will need to have it's own A/D convereter. This is what you are looking for. http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Female-Cable-Instruments-Microphones/dp/B0050CEEIW Check this video out too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY_C3EBiNy0

Yes, make sure you select it as your default audio output with the USB dongle. If not you can buy a cable where you connect the red&white plugs into it and it comes out as a dual 3.5mm output for audio and input for microphone.

basically any external microphone will work. The camera has a 3.5mm input, so the mic will either need that input or for it to be converted.

I do not know. However, if this camecorder has a built in port for a microphone, I don't see why they don't can work together.

the model we purchased has a USB connector. It may be available with either option, verify with the source before you purchase. The description may be referring to the port to gang an additional mic if necessary (we've not needed this, works well even in a large noisy room).

Yes, it's designed to be able to use an external mic. You may have to buy a skeleton housing for it so you can plug it in to the camera and still have it in the case/enclosure... These are around $40, I think.

No there's a mic already built in and it works with Skype, chatroulette, and the Lenovo video capture thing.

Most cameras usually have an auxiliary port for external microphones. If your camcorder does, you will need to buy an XLR-to-AUX converter cable separately.

No, not that I see in the online manual, plus I don't see connectivity on the camera for an external mike. http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/4424086131/EN/contents/02/index.html

There is no way to connect an external audio source. The only audio option is the on-board mic....which is not bad, but not something you'd want to use for most productions...especially live streaming. I suppose it would be possible to crack open the handle near the mic, disconnect the on-board mic and rig up some kind of direct connection, but I've never tried it. It's a great camera...lots of options for people like me who live in the SD/HD world. But, when it comes to recording quality audio for video productions, I have to use a separate mic and audio recorder and then sync it up with the video in post. Not fun, but it works!

Assuming you are talking about connecting it to a camera, all you have to do is plug it in. The mic jack has a switch that cuts off the internal mic, so the answer is yes but not because of any onboard intelligence.

Yes, there is a microphone jack on the camera and you may use an external mic.

Not without an adapter. It has the old style plugins for the mic and headphones.

No external mics included, you have to buy a kit that contains 2 external mics. Which is what I did.

Thank you for contacting us. The item you are inquiring about does not come with a port to plug in an external microphone.

The external mic comes with a little sticky mount. I mounted mine on the top of the dashboard and routed the wire inside the dash to the back of the radio. Nice and neat installation, works great.
