3Setting the Sound Recording

 

You can shoot movies while recording

 

sound with the built-in monaural

 

microphone or with a commercially-

 

available stereo microphone. You can

 

also freely adjust the sound-recording

 

level.

 

Set the sound recording with [z4:

 

Sound recording].

 

 

Sound Recording/Sound-Recording Level

[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 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.

Wind Filter

When set to [Enable], it reduces wind noise when there is wind outdoors. This feature works only with the built-in microphone.

Note that [Enable] will also reduce low bass sounds, so set this function to [Disable] when there is no wind. It will record a more natural sound than with [Enable].
