Sound recording

Level meter

Normally, the built-in microphone will record monaural sound. Stereo sound recording is possible by connecting an external microphone equipped with a stereo mini plug (3.5mm dia.) to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal (p.18). When an external microphone is connected, sound recording will switch automatically to the external microphone.

[Sound rec.] options

[Auto]

: The sound recording level will be 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.
