No trials yet. I just returned from a week-long trip to the (presently unfrozen) north. I'll be playing with it over
the next week or so. My task is much simpler. I'm supposed to make a video of the teacher in a classroom and
possibly the students as well. I'm thinking of using two cameras (E-M1 and E-M5) on tripods.
Sounds like something they should do fine.
I was also thinking of adding external stereo mikes. Investigating that taught me that the E-M5 does not have a
built-in socket (3.5mm stereo plug) for an exterior mike like the E-M1. It requires an adapter socket that plugs into
the flash socket as is also used on the Pens. I'll try first with the camera's own mikes and see how that works... or
not.
The mikes seem pretty good to me outside or with close up subjects. In a classroom, it's going to depend a lot on the
aural ambiance and camera location. If it's a live hall and the camera is in an echo-y location, the voice will turn to
mud. (Yup, experience, watching someone do that and listening to the result.) That's why wireless lapel mikes are
everywhere. No matter what else is going on, if you need it, you can mix some ambiance for a live feel under the
speaker's clear voice in the center.
