The 4GB limit is not due to the card size. It is because cards use very old file system (FAT32), which has an inherent limit as to how large a single ...
It appears that the mic can't work without the power module. As for your previous post ("If the mic is bad, will I know automatically..."), I would...
"a bunch of C-47s" I have always wondered where does the name come from. Wikipedia has no authoritative answer, and I couldn't find it elsewhere. A...
Another thought on the issue. Building moviemaking experience used to be a privilege reserved for the few. With a consumer/prosumer camcorder, practic...
