epic w newbie question

[Jean baptiste]

Hi
I picked up my epic w last week so I will have hundred newbie question regarding this camera. I will group them into this post.

first one, what's the process for record video with sound ? I started some test and recorded prores HQ but there is no sound. How can I record the sound wiht internal micro or external micro ? thanks

Hi Jean baptiste,

You can record sound with the internal microphone but you have to push the gain in the menu.

To record with an external microphone, you need a camera module from Red (Base expander, Redvolt expander) or a third party (Off Hollywood, Tilta...). It depends of what you want (jack entry or xlr, phantom power or not...).

Hi
Thanks for your help, I have a dcm2 base expander. So what's the process, you connect microphone on the microphone plug and that s all ? If you have a Screenshot of the setting in the menu it will help a lotThanks

I'm sure there's a manual with your camera?

 

[Jean baptiste]

it was no manual into the box

The manuel is online

Definitely read it, twice

Go to the audio settings in the menu. You have to select either external or internal mic. There you have gain (volume) control as well

 

[Chris McKechnie]

With DSMC 2, you need to open up the audio settings and deselect internal and choose Rear Analog since you have a mic hooked up via that port. That should solve your issues.
