Switching Audio Input

During shooting, you can record up to two channels of sound. You can also switch the input sound to be recorded on each of the channels to the built-in microphones, external microphones or audio equipment connected to camera.

Using the built-in microphone

1 Switch the CH1 SELECT switch to INT (L).

Audio from the built-in microphone Lch is recorded to audio channel 1.

2 Switch the CH2 SELECT switch to INT (R).

Audio from the built-in microphone Rch is recorded to audio channel 2.

Using an external microphone and audio equipment

1 Connect an external microphone or audio equipment to the INPUT 1/2 (XLR 3-pin) terminals. (Page 41)

2 Use the INPUT 1/2 switches to switch the audio input.

LINE: (audio equipment is connected)

Input level is 0 dBu.

MIC: (an external microphone is connected)

Input level is -50 dBu.

You can change the input level to -60 dBu in the setup menus, RECORDING SETUP screen MIC GAIN1 and MIC GAIN2. (Page 56) Be aware that sensitivity will be higher if you choose -60 dBu so you will record more noise.

3 When using the phantom microphone (which requires + 48V power supply), set the INPUT 1/2 (MIC POWER +48V) switches to ON.

ON: (When using the phantom microphone)

+48V power supply to INPUT 1/2 terminals.

OFF: (When a phantom microphone is not connected)

No power supply for INPUT 1/2 terminals.

The battery will discharge faster if you use a phantom microphone.

Set to OFF if you connect equipment not compatible with +48V. You can damage such equipment if you leave the setting at ON.

When using the AG-MC200G (optional), set the MIC GAIN item to -50 dBu.
