NOTES

•When the audio level meter reaches the red point (0 dB), the sound may be distorted.

•If the audio level is too high and the sound gets distorted, activate the microphone attenuator with the 78[Microphone Attenuator] set- ting (or [Surround Mic Attenuator] when the optional SM-V1 Surround Microphone is attached to the camcorder).

•We recommend using headphones to check the sound level while adjusting the audio recording level or when the microphone attenuator is activated.

Built-In Microphone Directionality

You can change the directionality of the built-in microphone to have more control over how sound is recorded.
