Ah rats. Thanks for the reply. And that involves working on the the video from by frame in lightroom for example if I’m correct….? Or is that just for very controlled colour correcting…?
The audio drivers in DSLR’s are rubbish for. You want to use an external recorder and sync it to the video afterwards. For clip mics I use H1 zooms. They are small and can go in the pocket of the artist. If you’re using overhead mics with XLR’s then you can use the H4n zoom recorder which also has phantom power. From there you can also take a line out of the headphone jack and into the mic input of your DSLR. Turn the recording level off auto to manual, and crank the level right down to one click above zero. You should then get a pretty good audio signal into your camera using the H4n Zoom as a mic amp.
