You can shoot movies while recording
sound with the built-in stereo
microphones or a commercially-available
external stereo microphone. You can
also freely adjust the sound-recording
level.
Set the sound recording with [z4:
Sound recording].
[Auto] : The sound-recording level is adjusted automatically. Auto
level control will operate automatically in response to the
sound level.
[Manual] : For advanced users. You can adjust the sound-recording
level to one of 64 levels.
Select [Rec. level] and turn the <5> dial while looking at
the level meter to adjust the sound-recording level. Look at
the peak hold indicator, and adjust so that the level meter
sometimes lights up on the right of the “12” (-12 dB) mark
for the loudest sounds. If it exceeds “0”, the sound will be
distorted.
[Disable] : Sound will not be recorded.
[Wind filter] : When set to [Auto], it reduces wind noise when there is
wind outdoors. This feature takes effect only with the
built-in microphones. When the wind filter function takes
effect, low bass sounds will also be reduced.
[Attenuator]: Automatically suppresses sound distortion caused by
loud noises. Even if you set [Sound recording] to [Auto]
or [Manual] before shooting, sound distortion may still
result if there is a very loud sound. In such a case, setting
it to [Enable] is recommended.
