• If you set an assignable button to [Headphone +] or [Headphone -] (A89), you can press the button to adjust the headphone volume without using the menu.

• When you are monitoring the audio, you can choose to synchronize the

audio signal with the video signal or monitor the audio in real time. Use the [¡Audio Setup] >[Audio Output] >[Monitor Delay] setting to

select the method. Note that there will be a slight delay when you monitor in real time. Regardless of the setting, however, the audio and video signals recorded will be synchronized.
