Canon HF S21 - Manual (Page 85)

NOTES
When the audio level meter reaches the red point (0 dB), the sound may
be distorted.
If the audio level is too high and the sound gets distorted, activate the
microphone attenuator with the | ■■ | O [Microphone Attenuator] set­
ting (or [Surround Mic Attenuator] when the optional SM-V1 Surround
Microphone is attached to the camcorder).
We recommend using headphones to check the sound level while
ad]usting the audio recording level or when the microphone attenuator
is activated.
This function can also be assigned to the custom key/dial (CQ 89).
Using Headphones
Use headphones for playback or to check the audio level while record­
ing. The headphones are connected to the AV OUT/Q terminal, which
is used for both the headphones and the audio/video output. Before
connecting the headphones, follow the procedure below to change the
function of the terminal from AV output to Q (headphones) output.
Operating modes: LH
Headphones can be used also in mode but the function of the terminal can­
not be changed in this mode. Change the setting in advance in one of the other
operating modes.
