[ Wide] Stereo recording of ambient sound over a more exten- sive area that adds to the sense of presence of movies.

NOTES

An external microphone overrides the built-in microphone. The built-in microphone’s directionality cannot be changed when an external micro- phone is attached to the mini advanced shoe.

Audio Equalizer

You can use the audio equalizer to adjust sound levels by specifically targeting the high- or low-frequency range and selecting one of 3 avail- able levels. The audio equalizer settings are only available when recording sound using the built-in microphone.
