DV Record Audio

You only need to set DV Record Audio if you have a
digital camcorder with 32kHz/12-bit sound connected to
the front panel DV IN jack. Some digital camcorders
have two stereo tracks for audio. One is recorded at the
time of shooting; the other is for overdubbing after
shooting.
•With the Audio 1 setting, the sound that was record-
ed while shooting is used.
•With the Audio 2 setting, the overdubbed sound is
used.

Auto Chapter

During recording (Video mode only), chapter markers
are added automatically at fixed intervals. You can set
this interval to 3 minutes, 5 minutes or 10 minutes. To
turn off automatic chapter marking, select “Not Use”.
