•We recommend that you set [MIC NR] to [OFF] in the menu setting in the following cases.

–When you use the external microphone at a distance from the camcorder.

–When the REC CH SELECT switch is set to CH1 and you will not input from the INPUT2 connector.

–When you set the INPUT LEVEL selector to LINE.

•If you use equipment other than a 48-V microphone with the +48V switch set to ON, a malfunction of the equipment may occur. When you connect equipment other than a 48-V microphone, set it to OFF.

•When the wind is blowing hard and the audio is input via the INPUT1 connector, set INPUT1 of the LOW CUT switch to ON. Set INPUT2 to ON when the audio is input via the INPUT2 connector. The sound of wind is reduced.

•When you connect equipment other than a microphone, set the +48V switch to OFF and the INPUT LEVEL selector to LINE.

•When using an external microphone, use a simple full-screen or underscan monitor and make sure that the wind screen does not appear on the screen.

When detaching the XLR adaptor

Unplug the connector plug of the XLR adaptor from the Active Internface Shoe beforehand. Detach the XLR adaptor after having loosened the screw of the XLR adaptor.

•When you unplug the microphone plug, unplug it while holding the PUSH button down.
