You will probably also need to up your ISO producing noisy photos. At the long end, 175mm comes at f4.8 making it pretty sluggish and you will have to use slower shutter speeds.

The M341 has the following connectivity:

• USB Yes

Digital cameras that feature NFC or Bluetooth compatibility can easily be controlled wirelessly with smartphones. You can send files and at times adjust camera settings without the hassle of connecting directly with the camera.

It is probably a better idea to shop for an alternative camera in case you require good sound in your videos.
