Using the slate mic and slate tone
Slate mic and slate tone overview
When recording with the F8n Pro, you can add audio comments that describe, for example, the scene being
filmed or the anticipated cuts. You can also record slate tone signals that can be used to synchronize with
video.
The F8n Pro has a built-in slate mic for recording comments and the ability to output a variable frequency
tone signal.
NOTE :
• The slate mic and slate tone cannot be used at the same time.
• The slate mic and slate tone cannot be used during audio file playback.
HINT:
A “slate” is a clapperboard used when recording video.
