REDUCING WIND NOISE DURING RECORDING (MIC.FILTER)

When recording sound from the microphone built into this DVD video camera/recorder, you can reduce wind noise in recording.

If “MIC.Filter: On” is specified, the low-frequency components in the sound picked up by

microphone will be cut off during recording: This makes it easier to hear the target voice or sound during playback.

1 Press the MENU button, use the f/e/ d/cbuttons to choose “MIC.Filter” on the “Camera Functions Setup” menu screen, and then press the Abutton.

2 Choose the desired option, and then press the

Abutton.

3 Press the MENU button to end the setting.

Note:

•You can also use the on-screen display to confirm that the MIC.Filter has been set.

•The MIC.Filter setting will be stored in memory even when the DVD video camera/recorder is turned off.

•The MIC.Filter function will work only during movie recording.
