Chapter 4 Adjustments and Settings for Recording — Selecting audio input and adjusting recording levels

When the level adjustment dial is assigned to [CH1/2]

rr Selection of level adjustment of channels 1/2

For the level adjustment method of channels 1/2, select <AUTO> (automatic adjustment) or <MANU> (manual adjustment by adjustment dial) by the <AUDIO SELECT CH1/3>/<AUDIO SELECT CH2/4> switch.

When <MANU> is selected, the volume of channels 1/2 is adjusted by the <AUDIO LEVEL CH1/3>/<AUDIO LEVEL CH2/4> dial.

rr Adjustment by <AUDIO LEVEL CH1/3>/<AUDIO LEVEL CH2/4> dial

Adjustment the <AUDIO LEVEL CH1/3>/<AUDIO LEVEL CH2/4> dial while viewing the audio channel level meter in the display window or the audio level meter in the LCD monitor. When the topmost bar (0 dB) is exceeded, the [OVER] display is illuminated to indicate that input audio is excessive. The maximum level must be adjusted so that the display does not reach 0 dB.

rr Adjustment by <F.AUDIO LEVEL> dial

When operating the camera alone, we recommend using the <F.AUDIO LEVEL> dial to adjust the audio level. Select the audio channel to be adjusted in advance, and while viewing the level meter of the viewfinder screen, adjust the level by the <F.AUDIO LEVEL> dial so that input does not become too great.

When adjusting the recording level by the <F.AUDIO LEVEL> dial, perform the following operation. Select whether to enable [FRONT VR CH1] and [FRONT VR CH2] on the line selected as the input signal of each channel in the main menu [I/F SETUP] [MIC/AUDIO].

[OFF]: Disabled

[FRONT]: Enabled when <FRONT> is selected for the input signal

[W.L.]: Enabled when wireless is selected for the input signal

[REAR]: Enabled when <REAR> is selected for the input signal

[ALL]: Enabled on all input lines

rr Level adjustment of channels 3/4

Automatic adjustment is enabled when [AUTO LVL CH3] and [AUTO LVL CH4] are set to [ON] in the main menu [I/F SETUP] [MIC/AUDIO]. When these items are set to [OFF], automatic adjustment stops functioning, and the audio level can be adjusted by [LVL CONTROL CH3] and [LVL CONTROL CH4] in [MIC/AUDIO].

When the level adjustment dial is assigned to [CH3/4]

rr Selection of level adjustment of channels 3/4

For the level adjustment method of channels 3/4, select <AUTO> (automatic adjustment) or <MANU> (manual adjustment by adjustment dial) by the <AUDIO SELECT CH1/3>/<AUDIO SELECT CH2/4> switch.

When <MANU> is selected, the volume of channels 3/4 is adjusted by the <AUDIO LEVEL CH1/3>/<AUDIO LEVEL CH2/4> dial.

rr Adjustment by <AUDIO LEVEL CH1/3>/<AUDIO LEVEL CH2/4> dial

Adjustment is possible by the <AUDIO LEVEL CH1/3>/<AUDIO LEVEL CH2/4> dial in the same way as when the level adjustment dial is assigned to [CH1/2].
