mic question(s)

if i hook up a mic via XLR(like a sm58 or something) will that shut off the camera mic?
also (sorry to ask such basic ??'s), but do i set it to line or mic?
im guesing mic...why the line option?

You've got two channels to record your audio tracks. Either channel can take a feed from the built-in mic, Input 1, or Input 2. So you can have an external mic feeding one channel and the built-in mic feeding the other channel. Use mic level for an external mic. Line level is typically for a feed from a mixer.
