Re: A6300 - Has MIC LINE IN!!!

HALLELUJAH!!!

Just noticed the press release saying "Also included on the new camera is a microphone line input that accepts external microphones..."

Finally! And it as Picture Profiles just like the A7 series, this is starting to look like a real pro camera!

Now the big question concerns if there is any overheating.

In one of the other three threads started today about this camera, they say it has no headphone jack.

BH Photo's product image shows the mic input is present.

A lot, at least for me! For most of those super small gigs I don't even bother monitoring audio. I just plug in Video Mic, leaving auto levels in camera, knowing the pattern of mic and looking on the monitor I know what to expect. If I need proper audio then using XLR microphone etc.

The hot shoe is also active so the new Sony UWP wireless receiver coupled with the SMAD-P3 Multi-Interface Shoe Adapter will add wireless audio direct with no cables. Also works with the XLR unit.

Does the XLR unit have a headphone jack? I don't see one in the images.

sadly not. Have to monitor via pre-amp

Some specs and desired effects/outcomes require a very small, stealthy footprint like the A6300. So by having a Mic Input, A7-like Picture Profiles, Clean ISO up to 25,600 (so they say in the press release), PDAF and 120fps to name a few all helps to make this a desirable camera for specialized situations.

The sony uwp has head phone out so you could use that with that smad-p3 or the xlr unit to monitor

I'm a little confused. If I wanted monitoring, what are my options?

UWP and SMAD-P3

or

XLR-K2M

Are those the two options?

I can confirm that there is a mic input in the 6300 3,5mm
