Q: QuestionCan this camera be used for Zoom calls by connecting it to a laptop, to provide better video and audio for a virtual meeting or interview?

Asked 4 years ago by RK.

• A:Answer Yes, you can connect the hdmi output from the camera to your computer. You will need a video capture device, such as the Elgato Cam Link, to convert the hdmi signal to usb. I am not certain about the audio quality you will receive. Likely it will be better than the built in microphone on your laptop. For best audio a separate microphone that can be placed close to you will provide the best audio.

  I would recommend:

  • 

    Shure - MV7 Dynamic Cardioid USB Microphone - Black

    User rating, 4.8 out of 5 stars with 271 reviews.

  • 

    Elgato - Cam Link 4K - Black

    User rating, 4.7 out of 5 stars with 1200 reviews.

Q: Questionhow does the audio work on this camera? does it come with a natural sound mic? does it have inputs that I could use to get true audio?

Asked 5 years ago by clifford29.

• A:Answer Yes the camera has a pretty good mic on the camera. You can also adjust the volume of those mics in the menu. I use the external mic jack to connect the sound track directly into the camera so I can control the volume with a sound board. I connect the receiver of a wireless mic to the camera and the transmitter to the sound board. You can also purchase a shoe mic that rides on top of the camera to improve the mics on the camera.

Q: QuestionHow an I supposed to download bigger files, it will download smaller files to my computer via USB, but not larger ones.

Asked 5 years ago by AKNana.

• A:Answer Hmmm - Are you asking about other options than removing the SD card to load to your computer? If I’m in the field, and going to be shooting a lot of segments - I’ll will Cary a wireless external drive and backup my files there. I still like to have two copies until I get back to my office But this method is super easy - and quick - and no need for a computer. Hope this helped.

Q: Questionwhich hot shoe would you put the rode video mic pro, the one near the lens or the mini advanced shoe? in either case, do you plug the rode wire into the mic receptacle in the g50?

Asked 3 years ago by mike.

• A:Answer Working with any RODE mics on this camera is a bit odd. The "mini advanced shoe" is a proprietary Canon hot mount, you would have to put the mic on the cold shoe near the lens. The camera can have "plug-in power" switched on to power the electret condenser modules in the Video Mic Pro just by using the 1/8" mic plug.
