Inside and outside. Again, I stress that we are generally looking for
intelligibility, not world-class feature-film sound. There is often no time
to switch between mics when following a subject during her/his daily
routine. We go with a general-purpose mic, and the 416 is usually what we
use, although we used to go with the ME-80 + K3U power supply when the
cameras didn't have phantom powering.
That has been the case with every network for whom I have worked --CNN, CBS,
NBC, ABC, Reuters, BBC, ARD, ZDF, et al. Nobody bothers with hypercardioids
in the conditions we work under.
