Audio mode

Fs32K (12-bit) mode: The original sound can be recorded in channels 1 and 2, and the new sound in channels 3 and 4 in 32 kHz. The balance between channels 1/2 and channels 3/4 can be adjusted by selecting AUDIO MIX in the menu settings during playback and audio dubbing. Both sounds can be played back. You can monitor the sound during audio dubbing.

Fs48K (16-bit) mode: A new sound cannot be recorded but the original sound can be recorded in high quality using two channels. The audio mode can be indicated on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder.

You may not add a sound on a DVCAM-formatted tape which does not comply with the condition of the DVCAM format as described on page 140 or when you recorded on a DV-formatted tape. In this case, “NS” appears on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder.
