The newer models got a much better audio board, 48V phantom power with a mic works very well.

If you use a good mic and a little mixer like soundevice, you will be very happy with the sound that you will get

Without the audio upgrade, 48k phantom is very noisy.

If you need to record directly to the camera, maybe try a RODE NTG2 as you can power it with a AA battery instead of phantom.

For best results, use an external mixer so you can go line level. This is very clean.

Recorded directly to the camera yesterday with a Sennheiser ME 66. Levels was the default - settings on build 17. Sound was very low, and I guess I could boost the levels higher, but worse, there were tiny "clicks" heard in the recording, not very high, but still enough to ruin a recording...?

Any other "clicks" out there?

Whats the best settings for recording direct - to - camera?
