Xperia Z5 external microphones for video recording support

Hello.

As far as I can see by defaul Xperia Z5 use microphone from connected wired headset to record audio for video stream. 

In this case i have some questions:

  • will it use mic from connected bluetooth headset?
  • what kind of stereo microphones are supported?
  • i should by only sony external microphone or can use any stereo mic with 3.5 jack?

P.S. You must show some icon if external microphone is enabled.

@rumatoest

it will use the microphone(s) on the headphones, if you have the noise cancelling headphones, it's the way to go, try this 

put the headphones on > record a video > ask friends to make noise on one side then the other side then behind you while recording > play the video > Bomb > mind blown 

you can also buy microphones but I would go with the noise cancelling headphones

I notice in Xperia Z5 in all builds ? the mute mic feature is missing compared to Xperia Z1 Android 4.x build.
