3Setting the Sound Recording

Using the microphone

The built-in microphone records monaural sound. Stereo sound recording is possible by connecting an external stereo microphone (commercially-available) equipped with a miniature stereo plug (φ3.5 mm) to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal (p.20).

In Basic Zone modes, the settings available for [Sound recording] will be [On/Off]. If [On] is set, the sound-recording level will be adjusted automatically (same as with [Auto]) and the wind filter function will take effect.

The sound volume balance between L (left) and R (right) cannot be adjusted.

Both L and R record audio at a 48 kHz/16-bit sampling rate.
