The optional ME-1 stereo microphone can be used to re-
cord sound in stereo or to avoid recording lens noise dur-
ing autofocus. To reduce low-frequency noise, including
that produced by the wind, rotate the low-cut fi lter switch
from FLAT to L-CUT. Note that noise from the switch may be
recorded if the control is operated during fi lming.
Headphones Headphones
Third-party headphones can be attached via the headphone
connector so that you can check sound during fi lming. Note
that headphone and microphone settings can not be ad-
justed during shooting; before recording, check headphone
volume in the live view display (page 55) and adjust head-
phone volume and microphone sensitivity as necessary.
Microphone Sensitivity Microphone Sensitivity
Microphone sensitivity can be adjust-
ed before recording using the Movie
settings > Microphone option in the
shooting menu. If sound levels can be
predicted, adjust sensitivity manually so
that peak volume does not exceed 12 db. Choose Auto if
sound levels can not be predicted in advance.
