  PMW-400 Audio question

  Posted by Kate Malone on August 12, 2013 at 9:46 pm

  Hi,
  The PMW400 has 4 Channel audio output but only 2 XLR inputs on the rear of the camera.
  Does this mean that the stereo camera mic is automatically mapped to channel 1 and 2 and that the ‘spare’ inputs on the back are 3 and 4?
  If i were to change the on camera stereo mic,does the camera take a 5 Pin XLRF in the front?
  Finding it impossible to get this info from the specs.
  Regards,
  Moto

  Kate,

  Took me 2 minutes to find a user manual.
  Your question is answered on page 53
  Here is the link to download the manual.
  You owe it to yourself and your client to know how your camera works.
  I have all my user manuals on my smart phone and my laptop.
  Frankly I have stuff on cameras and support I dont even own but may run into on a job
