Does the mean the input impedance of the mic port is actually much greater than this or is the input impedance actually 600 ohms?

I want to connect the 3.5mm Tape Out from a Sound Devices MixPre (~2K ohms output impedance) to the 3.5mm mic input on the SD700. It seems I might need some sort of attenuator as it’s a line-level output from the MixPre. How would I do this? I’ve been on sites which show you how to make your own but I don’t know what the input impedance of the mic port on the camera is.

In manual mode, the preamp gain in the SD700 can be varied from -30 to +6 in 3 step increments. Is this in dB?

Thanks!

Hi Ken, spare parts can be purchased via a spare parts distributor http://au.panasonic.com.au/Support/Customer+support/Spare+parts+distributors.

Where can I get some new ones?

I’ve reached the recording limit & need to download & delete.

Cheers.

Hi Russ, Sorry to hear about your disappointment. The HDC-SD600 is not imported into Australia however under normal usage conditions any detectable fan noise is not an issue. If the customer believes the fan noise is excessive he may wish to contact Panasonic in the country of purchase & have the camera checked to see if it is performing to specifications. All the best, Team Panasonic

I think its a flawed concept.. a noisy fan on a camcorder.

And panasonic, you are misleading when you say it cannot be heard.
It can be heard extremely clearly in low quiet environments.

Considering The price of this camera, its rather disgusting.

Very sillly design flaw.

If 3mos sensors need cooling, then find a better solution before you release the cameras.

this noise is an unacceptable compromise, expecially considering there is no compromise on the price of these expensive cameras.

I’m in the uk, adn the prices here are absurdly high.
But ive got to much noise.

Very disspoointing.
I’d advice you people to avoid, or get a cannon,with no fan noise.

I purchased the HDC-SD700 late last year, and have been extremely happy with the picture quality (using HDMI out to TV).
Now… How can I import all the files onto my brand new Mac Book Pro (Intel i7 chipset) for editing. I’m new to using a Mac.
When I drag and drop the clips onto the Mac the xxxx.mpl files seem very small and don’t seem to be supported.
Happy for any links to help sites, how to’s, etc.
Thanks
Kevin

Hi Anthony,

The HDC-SD600 is compatible with pinnacle studio 14 editing program, however we are not currently selling this model in Australia. The only thing studio 14 would not deal with is the 1080 50p.

Many Thanks,

Team Panasonic
