mrblueglance, "Shotgun" mode captures audio primarily from directly in front of the camera. This mode captures sound in mono from a single element at the front of the unit. "Stereo 1" mode captures sound at about 90 degrees, combining both the front element and two separate elements along the side. The overall perceived quality of the sound is much better than using the shotgun alone. There is more warmth and richness in this mode, and it provides a nice balance of front centered sound, with some ambience from the sides. "Stereo 2" mode captures sound at more than 180 degrees. The rear facing element seems to be designed to capture nearby sounds, but not more distant sounds. The "Stereo 2" seems to be a little too weighted towards capturing sound from the sides at some expense to the front element. As a result, the sound quality itself is a little better, but the mix appears slightly off. Hope this helps!

I have the Canon VIXIA HF M40 and am going to be buying an external mic for it. But I can not figure out or find a key piece of information, the product is a DM-50 and it is shotgun microphone with 3 settings "shotgun", "stereo 1", and "stereo 2. Can some please explain to me what "stereo 1" and "stereo 2" would be used for?? Thank You!

What about recording audio seperately like the way it is done in Hollywood? It is a good and professional solution. That can be done with cheap equipment like the ZOOM H4n. It is actually really easy to sync the audio in post if you record it properly (just use a clapboard or clap your hands to adjust the audio according to the audio peaks).
