Off-hand, I'd say you'd have to open up the
camera and physically disable the
microphone. It's probably mounted right onto
the circuit board, so you might have to de-
solder it. Another thought, although I don't
know how this would end up, would be to
short-out the connections at the microphone.
This would create a return path for the
current at the mic., theefore by-passing it.
The only problem I can think of is that of
resistance, seeing as how you're eliminating
the resistance of the mic. element, but I
don't think it is that much, so I'm assuming
it should be able to handle it with no
damage to the mic. preamp, or other
components. I'm no tech, though.
