Level meter

Normally, the built-in microphone will record stereo sound. If a commercially- available microphone equipped with a mini plug (3.5 mm diameter) is connected to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal (p.20), it will be given priority.

[Sound rec./Rec. level] options

[Auto]

: The sound-recording level is 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 pressing the <U>

 

key 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.
