AUDIO RECORDINGS

On camera - the mic of the camera is not great so whenever possible use the min-ijack sennheizer shotgun microphone to improve recording quality.
You must wear the headphones to gage the quality and levels of the audio. The screen monitor on the zoom is ok but you should definitely monitor the audio with the headphones.

Set the Audio to Auto in most situations where the sound levels are more or less consistent,
Use Manual audio settings when sound in area tends to fluctuate and peak at different levels

There is no question that the more you shoot the more you feel comfortable with the camera and shooting style that the camera permits, so i would suggest you play with the camera as much as you can before going out to shoot your subjects.

Dont forget you can download the tutorials from my sever here:
