Re: [OM] E-M1 video

[Chuck Norcutt]

I did my first simple test this afternoon recording the TV in the family 
room from about 20 feet away.  My family room is like an echo chamber 
and the movie audio showed it... weak from 20 feet and very echo-y.  So 
far I haven't even bothered to hook up my rear surround sound speakers 
as the only good sound in that room comes out of earphones.  Next test 
will be to record the bedroom TV from a closer distance.  The bedroom 
doesn't have the echos of the family room.
How does one mix audio from 2 sources to record on one camera?  One 
source perhaps is the instructor's lapel mike and the other mike 
somewhere in the audience.  So far I've only looked at Oly's stereo 
mike.  No wireless stuff there.  Are the wireless mikes Bluetooth?
