## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it have a 3.5mm jack to plug in an external microphone?**
A: I don't know why Sherrie and Nick said they purchase a mini USB to a 3.5 jack. That doesn't work, I did the same thing I also bought USB female to female so I can connect a USB to 3.5 female so I can connect the camera via USB not the mini USB, still didn't work. So no there's no way to connect an external microphone.

**Q: Can I record while the camera is charging? If I have a portable charger, could I have the camera plugged into that and still record?**
A: I think the answers are confusing to some. Here's the scoop. You can use an external battery pack like the one you charge your Iphone with or you can plug it into a USB port or you can use the 110v adapter with USB cable plugged in. When you do those following things the camera is running off those power sources and not your battery. And yes, you can record while plugged into those external power sources. The battery will not charge when doing that and recording but that should not be a problem. Charge your battery at home. Now start recording and when your battery gets low plug into your external battery pack or USB and keep going. I own this camera and did the experiment. I use this in my car as a dash cam and it's plugged into my cigarette lighter and it runs non stop without using the battery.

**Q: What is the longest continuous recording file that you can create with this camera, assuming 64gb sdxc?**
A: Hi R. N. Winters, depending on the type of videos to be recorder: XAVC S HD - 2 h 35 min, AVCHD (High Quality) - 8 h 15 min), AVCHD (standard) - 14 h 40 min. Hope this helps. -Ely

**Q: can you pause while recording?**
A: Hi David, no, you can't. You can start/stop the recording when you press the REC button. Thanks_Mitch
