• While recording is in progress, operating and handling noises from the camera or lens may be recorded. Touching this unit while recording is in progress will cause noise to be included in the recording.
• While recording is in progress, do not change the INPUT1 or INPUT2 switch settings.
•  If the microphone of this unit is in proximity to a speaker, acoustic feedback may occur. In this case, move the unit away from the speaker to allow the maximum distance between the microphone and the speaker, or lower the speaker volume.
• If dust or water droplets are present on the surface of the microphone, successful recording may not be possible. Be sure to clean the microphone surface before using this unit.
• Turn off the camera before attaching/removing this unit.
• When this unit is connected to the camera and the HANDLE AUDIO switch is set to ON, the internal microphone of the camera cannot record audio input.
