Sound recordingN

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.
