Sound recording

Level meter

Normally, the built-in microphone will record monaural sound. Stereo sound recording is possible by connecting an external microphone equipped with a stereo mini plug (3.5mm dia.) to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal (p.16). When an external microphone is connected, sound recording will switch automatically to the external microphone.

[Sound rec.] options

[Auto]

: The sound recording level will be adjusted

 

automatically. Auto level control will operate

 

automatically in response to the sound level.

[Manual]

: For advanced users. You can adjust the sound

 

recording level to one of 64 levels.

 

Select [Rec. level] and look at the level meter while

 

turning the <5> dial to adjust the sound recording

 

level. While looking at the peak hold indicator

 

(Approx. 3 sec.), adjust so that the level meter

 

sometimes lights up the “12” (-12 dB) mark on the

 

right for the loudest sounds. If it exceeds “0,” the

 

sound will be distorted.

[Disable]

: Sound will not be recorded.
