i purchased a wireless (Sennheiser G2 EW 112p Wirelless Lapel Mic ) and do not have the MA100/200, so someone online told me i did'nt need one and wrote below.....
"You can either use it instead of on board microphone, it clips to the top of the camera via the shoe mount and plugs in to the mini jack port.
Alternatively you could plug it into a Canon MA100 or MA200 mic adapter using the XLR inputs.
If you don't have an MA100 or MA200 (they are a bit pricie (100-250 pounds), then the cheaper option is to buy a Stereo mini jack lead which splits into 2 phono sockets, and plug the it into audio input 2 on the XL1s. I have tried it and it works perfectly and costs less than 10 euro. This I suggest is the best way as it means you can use the on board mic for background sound on Audio 1 LR and the wireless mic on Audio 2 LR. "
i would like to try out recording sound from the on-board mic and the wirless mic, can the both record at the same time, and can i switch between the two, or turn one off say and just record with the on-board mic, or vice/versa.
thanks
