Using an xlr microphone att sony hdv users

Hi everyone, i know this is more of an editing kind of forum but i dont know of a more helpful place. Im filming a wedding this weekend and im hiring an xlr microphone to capture the sound. I have a sony HVR-Z1P hdv camera and was wondering if i plug the microphone in will the built-in microphone still work as well or is it a one or the other choice.
Also does anyone know of a sony camera forum for little questions like this. If not, maybe someone could make it a permanent topic.

Thanks for your help it will be quite useful.

Hi Daniel,

You will have to set the MIC SELECT and XLR SET parameters in the AUDIO SET menu accordingly. See the chapter "Using the (AUDIO SET) menu" in the manual.
Also see the paragraph "Connecting external audio sources" and "Selecting the recording channel" in the chapter "Customizing the Sound".

There is a Sony DV forum on www.creativecow.net

Cheers,
Uwe
