Adjusting the recording sound

To attenuate the recording level

Attenuate the recording level when recording very loud sounds.

When using the built-in microphone or external microphone. Set the MIC switch to ATT. Normally set off (green position).

When connecting an external microphone to AUDIO IN (CH-1/CH-2) input connector.

Set ATT (REAR) to ON.

To reduce wind noise of the built-in microphone

If there is a loud wind, set the BUILT-IN MIC switch to WIND. Note that low frequency input signal will weaken.

To change the directionality of the built-in microphone

Set DIRECTION SELECT to the desired position (0°/90°/120°).

When set to 0° the sound is in monaural.
