Outstanding Features
Automatic level control mechanism with
Canon's ALC circuit
The volume level is automatically controlled
by an ALC (Automatic Level Control) circuit.
Since this ALC circuit has a special control
system based on the duration of sound as well
as the tone level, it affords the most suitable
recording system for sound 8mm filming.
Audio Level Switch for recording loud sounds
without distortion
It is also possible to reduce the sensitivity of
the ALC circuit in order to record loud
sounds without distortion.
