You can add accessories to the MVX3i camcorder. Tele and Wide Converters and
Filter Lens are available. If getting a better shot depends on the right lighting,
an optional Video Flash Light (VFL1) is available. For optimum sound when
recording, an optional Microphone (DM50) is also available. It ensures accurate
