I'm having trouble getting the GH3 to recognize my audiotechnica shotgun. when i plug it in the special mic icons remain greyed-out. does external mic only work with the new panasonic shotgun?
oh. cool. i'll check for that- ah- got it.
I don't have a message when I plug in my Rode VideoMic pro into the 3.5mm jack but I do see the microphone icon just above the meters.
yeah. i guess i have to do a test recording. i'm not sure if the 'special mic' icon is supposed to be greyed-out when a mic is connected to the mini input. the GH2 tells you when there is an external mic connected. is there some message that alerts you on the GH3?
think gh2 uses 2.5mm jack and gh3 uses 3.5mm jack. Its connected ok?
it has a battery. plus it worked fine with the GH2
might be your shotgun need 48v power?
