Capturing Voices Over a Wide Area
for a More Lifelike Sound
The festival is really starting to rock. The trumpets are out. People
are singing. At times like this, you want to record the best sound
possible. Panasonic high-definition video cameras let you do this
with five built-in microphones. They capture sounds from just about
anywhere. And they record in 5.1-channel surround, so you get a truly
lifelike sound on a Dolby Digital 5.1-channel system.
You can capture
all the
excitement.
5 Microphones and 5.1-Channel Surround Sound
Panasonic high-definition video cameras have five electret condenser microphones, one each to capture sounds
from the front, back, right, left and centre. The centre mic helps capture the sound source and distance more
accurately. This provides a more 3-dimensional effect than conventional systems, which capture all sounds from the
front. It creates a true-to-life sound space that's a great match for the HD image quality.

3CCD Five mics capture each of the sounds from
the different sound source directions.
When you zoom in to a performer on stage, you want the sound to
zoom in at the same time. Panasonic high-definition video cameras
do exactly that, linking the microphone zoom with the lens zoom. With
this innovative feature, voices come through loud and clear even when
you're using the zoom to record someone at a distance.

In Zoom mode the microphones are linked to the
lens action. When you zoom in on a subject, the
microphones focus on the sound in that same
direction, minimizing the capture of incidental
sounds. This level of sound localisation —— made
possible by the five-mic configuration - is ideal for
shooting a scene onstage or a conversation.
