Sound recordingN

Normally, the built-in microphone will
record monaural sound. Stereo sound
recording is possible by connecting an
external microphone equipped with a
stereo mini plug (3.5mm dia.) to the
camera’s external microphone IN
terminal (p.16). When an external
microphone is connected, sound
recording will switch automatically to the
external microphone.

[Sound rec.] options

[Auto]

: The sound recording level will be adjusted

automatically. Auto level control will operate
automatically in response to the sound level.

[Manual] : For advanced users. You can adjust the sound

recording level to one of 64 levels.
Select [Rec. level] and look at the level meter while
turning the <5> dial to adjust the sound recording
level. While looking at the peak hold indicator
(Approx. 3 sec.), adjust so that the level meter
sometimes lights up the “12” (-12 dB) mark on the
right for the loudest sounds. If it exceeds “0,” the
sound will be distorted.

[Disable] : Sound will not be recorded.
