Q: 1. If I am using a lapel mike (Audio-Technica AT803B) hooked into the camera, would it improve the sound quality if I had a shotgun mike too? Or would it not make a difference? If so, which shotgun mike would you recommend?

A: In movie making, like many endeavors, so much of the process is about selecting the proper tool. Here, there is the choice of the two most basic microphones. It is a pretty easy selection. I like to suggest when you are doing a sit down interview, you clip the lavaliere (lapel) microphone on the interviewee and have the shotgun on the camera live for back up audio as well as picking up the interviewer. When doing a stand up or a moving interview, then the shotgun only. Do know shotguns are best for sound at 1' to 10' distances. They do not pick up sound from far away. Here is a good quality shotgun, with two cables and a windshield. Rode NTG2 Battery or Phantom Powered Condenser Shotgun Microphone B&H # RONTG2. This short cable for on camera use. Kopul Studio Elite 4000 Series XLR M to Angled XLR F Microphone Cable - 1.5' (0.45 m), Black B&H # KOM4001.5R This cable for use on a boom or in the hand. Kopul Studio Elite 4000 Series XLR M to XLR F Microphone Cable - 25' (7.6 m), Black B&H # KOM4025. While the mic come with a foam screen, if you are outside and there is wind you need this. Rode WS6 Deluxe Windshield for the NTG2, NTG1, NTG4, and NTG4+ Microphones B&H # ROWS6. Good luck!

Q: 2. I already own a Shure SM57 and SM58. Can I use either of these mikes with the XF100?

A: The XF100 includes an XLR and a 1/8 mini plug input for audio. It has a very professional audio setup and it's very versatile. As long as you use one of those connectors (which are the standard), you should have no problem plugging in.

Q: 3. Are there issues importing MXF files into Adobe Premiere? Does anybody have experience with this?

A: There should not be any issues importing files from the XF100 in to the latest version of Adobe Premiere.
