Hi, I don't think this should cause a problem but just wanted to check in and ask. Using a Canon XF100. In the past, when using an external mic, I've always connected the XLR to CH1 and had it record to CH1/CH2. When needing to go the onboard Mic, I'd just switch from ext to int and re-set the...

This if my first documentary. We have our shooting script, interviews lined up, and our schedule. We're running a couple of weeks of practice before we go and my lack of technical knowledge is starting to show.... I'm not sure what we're going to do with the end product. We've had a lot of...
