Audio Settings and Recorded Audio Channels

Which audio inputs are recorded to which audio channels is determined by a combination of menu settings, audio-related controls on the camcorder and whether an external microphone is connected to the MIC terminal. The following table gives an overview of the possible combinations.

For MXF clips, all the combinations listed are available. For MP4 clips, when the movie format is set to MP4 or to MXF+MP4 using 2-channel audio recording, only the combinations marked as A are available. When the movie format is set to MXF+MP4 using 4-channel audio recording, with the [¡Audio Setup] >[Audio Input] > [MP4 Channels] setting you can select which two channels of the four (B or ) to record with the MP4 clip.
