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

There are two sound monitors, the earphone

and the recording level indication in the viewfinder.
