SETTING AND ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE SHOOTING
CAUTION
• When the AUDIO INPUT switch is set to MIC, be sure to
check that the microphone is connected to the INPUT1/2
connector. If the microphone is not connected, increasing
the audio level could cause noise from the input connec-
tor to be recorded on the tape. When the microphone is
not connected to the INPUT1/2 connector, set the AUDIO
INPUT switch to “LINE” or turn down the audio level con-
trol.
• In the FULL AUTO mode, the audio level volume cannot
be adjusted with the audio level controls on the CH-1 and
CH-2.

The reference level for audio recorded on the tape can be
set with the AUDIO REF. LEVEL item on the AUDIO/MIC
menu screen. (–20 dB or –12 dB) The level will change for
