Does my camcorder have an AV-in port?

Can an AV port on a camcorder support input audio from an external mic?

  • I'm not familiar with cameras and their terminology/capabilities, but I just want to find out of the AV port on my camcorder will support input audio. I bought an external mic a while back, and sent it back because it appeared to not be working. Now I'm wondering if maybe the AV port I was using just doesn't support input audio. Help, anyone? My camcorder is a Mini DV Canon ZR830 . Thanks!

  • Answer:

    No. The camera has to have a mic input. The AV port on your camera is an output,not an input.

The ZR830 doesn't have a microphone input - you can't use an external mic.
