•Set the [MIC GAIN] switch appropriately for the source you’re recording. Choose the H setting if you’re recording relatively soft sounds such as birds, insects, or a rustling stream. Choose the L setting if you’re making a close-up recording of a loud source, such as a passing train or an airplane taking off or landing.

•If wind noise is a problem, attach the included wind screen. Since wind noise is largely low- frequency components, turning [LOW CUT] on will also reduce it. However, this will cut the low- frequency portion, so it’s not suitable if you want to capture the powerful low-frequency sounds as well.

•If you’re not able to come close to the target you’re recording, using an external mic can allow you to point the mic even where you can’t reach. The separately sold stereo mic (CS-15) is designed to pick up only the sounds in the region toward which the mic is pointed, allowing you to capture just the desired sound.

•If you turn Pre-Rec (p. 50) on, recording will start two seconds earlier than the moment you

actually press [ ]. This means that you won’t miss the beginning of that perfect sound.

•If you’ll be using the sound together with images in a DVD production, choose 48 kHz as the sampling rate.
