SOFT: The frequency characteristic of recording is
normal. This setting is suitable for the subject's
recording—music, drum, bell, including low-
frequencies, and for quiet places with little
reflected sound.
CLEAR: This eliminates low frequencies. It is
suitable for recording where there is back
ground noise or when people are speaking close
to the microphone, or for outdoor recording
when it is windy or noisy.

Microphone Positioning
The position of the microphone has to be
decided according to the position of subjects. It has
to be at least 1m away from the camera body in
order to avoid the sound of the film drive. When it
is windy, the microphone should be used with the
windscreen. Set the microphone as close as possible
to the subject, use a microphone stand or improvise.
For example, it is possible to hang it in a tree, or
have an assistant hold it.
• Microphone Switch:
Switch "ON" the microphone after setting
it in position.

Sound Monitor
