It is 1/8″ on one end and XLR on the other end. I also have been reading my manual. Does anyone here use the Mic ATT20 setting in the camera? If so, do you just set it and forget it or do you have to change back and forth between the mic and Mic ATT20 setting? I was shooting some video earlier, and man in front of the DJ speakers it was distorted big time. Since the room was small, audio was loud everywhere.
