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, chapter markers are added automati-
cally at fixed intervals. You can set this interval to 5 min-
utes or 10 minutes. To turn off automatic chapter mark-
ing, select “OFF”.
