•When%using%the%camera%for%video%documentation%you%need%to%

overcome%two%inherent%weaknesses:%the%poor%built-in%microphone%

and%the%short%video%recording%times%to%SD%cards.%The%approximate%

maximum%length%of%a%video%recorded%to%SD%card%is%29%minutes.

•To%address%those%issues,%the%kit%includes%a%Sony%external%microphone%
