Part%One:%Assembling%the%Camera

•The%α7S%(alpha%7%S)%was%chosen%as%a%versatile%documentation%camera%

that%could%take%stills%and%video%in%low%light.

•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%

with%an%audio%input%adapter%and%an%external%video%recorder%(the%

Atomos “Ninja”)%The%camera%is%mounted%in%a%”cage”%that%provides%

mounting%points%for%these%devices.

Before%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% After

The%External%Microphone%should%be%plugged%into%Input%1%of%the%Audio%

Adapter.

Look%at%the%audio%input%controls%before%attaching%the%Audio%Adapter.

You%have%two%inputs%going%to%two%audio%channels%(stereo).

In%this%image%the%external%microphone%is%plugged%into%Input&1.

Input%1%is%going%to%Channel&1&only,%the%LEFT%side%of%the%

stereo%signal%and%the%input%attenuation%(ATN)%is%set%to%

MIC&+48V&to%supply%power%to%the%microphone.

The%Channel%2%input attenuation%is%set%to%LINE.

A%Line%level%input%could%be%from%a%wireless

microphone%(that%already%has%power)%or%the%output%

from%a%mixing%board.

If%you%only%used%the%external%microphone%on%the%camera

and%wanted%a%dual%mono%signal%on%both%Channel%1%and%2,%

(left%and%right)%then%the%Input%1%selector%would%be%

switched%up%to%CH1&CH2.

Mount%the%audio%input%adapter%to%the%cold%shoe%on%the%handle.

The%hot%shoe%on%the%camera%is%for%the%input%from%the%audio%adapter.%

This%will%automatically%turn%off%the%camera’s%built-in%microphone.

Attach%the%little%arm%for%the%external%recorder.
