You can monitor the sound while recording and playing back by attaching stereo headphones to the H terminal on the docking unit.

You can adjust the volume of attached headphones by turning the SELECT dial.

•A VOLUME bar appears in the display to indicate the current volume. The volume level is the same regardless of mode.

•The SELECT dial also controls the speaker volume once you remove the headphones from the headphone socket ( 65).

•The levels you adjust for the built-in speaker and headphones are memorized separately. The camera remembers your levels even if you turn the camera off and back on again.

Wind screen

The camera has an automatic wind screen to prevent wind noise from interfering with the sound track of a tape. As a rule, use the wind screen when recording outdoors. Make sure it’s off when recording indoors, where there is no wind to affect your recording.
