How to Connect External Microphone to Sjcam Cameras?

Connecting an external microphone to an SJCAM camera typically involves using the camera's dedicated microphone input port. Here's a general step-by-step guide on how to connect an external microphone to your SJCAM camera:

Ensure compatibility: Check if your SJCAM camera model has a dedicated microphone input port. Not all models support external microphones, so confirming this beforehand is important.

Obtain the necessary equipment: Purchase a compatible external microphone for your SJCAM camera. Look for microphones with a 3.5mm audio jack, as this is the most common connector type.

Locate the microphone input port: On your SJCAM camera, locate the port designated for the external microphone. It is usually a 3.5mm jack labeled "MIC" or "MIC-IN." Refer to your camera's user manual or online resources for instructions on where to find it.

Insert the microphone cable: Plug one end of the microphone cable into the 3.5mm jack of the external microphone. Make sure it is securely connected.

Connect the other end to the camera: Insert the other end of the microphone cable into the microphone input port on your SJCAM camera. Ensure a firm connection, but avoid applying excessive force.

Adjust camera settings: Turn on your camera and navigate the settings menu. Look for the audio or microphone settings. Depending on your camera model, you may have options to enable the external microphone, adjust audio levels, or configure other microphone-related settings. Follow the instructions in your camera's manual to configure the appropriate settings.

Test the microphone: With the external microphone connected and the settings configured, test the audio recording functionality to ensure the camera successfully picks up audio from the external microphone. Record a short video or audio clip, then play it back to verify the sound quality and ensure the microphone functions correctly.
