Formatting to FAT32 limits the file size. This has caused problems with recording concerts or plays as the change to a new file causes a break in the audio.
We normally suggest that the audio is recorded on a recorder such as a Zoom or Tascam or Fostex and then sync'd to the video in a video editor to overcome this problem. This gives a continuous audio track.
BUT it has a more important advantage. Video is normally recorded from a distance, back of hall etc., but the audio is best recorded near the artists to reduce audience noise and hall echo.
The fact is that video camera microphones can only be a compromise. They work OK if recording family or a noisy bit of machinery as the local sound is captured without other interference. Recording using the camera mics in a hall or church means that all the noise is picked up.
One advantage of the 750 is the Mic In socket and the Headphones Out so not only can you connect an external mic but you can listen to the sound being recorded.
Based on Sony camcorders importing long takes where the camcorder produces multiple files require the use of the manufacturers supplied software. The missing audio is contained in small separate files. Importing to a ntfs drive seamlessly combines the sub 4GB sections and fills in the missing audio into a single clip.
