Changing the Audio Mode E

You can record sound in two audio modes—16-bit and 12-bit. The 12-bit mode records sound on two channels (stereo 1), leaving 2 channels free (stereo 2) for adding new sound later. Select the 16-bit mode for higher sound quality.

❍The audio level differs from that of the built-in microphone.

❍ Be careful with long microphones as they may appear in the picture.
