Microphone Attenuator (INPUT terminals)

(20 dB).

Selecting the Built-in Microphone or an External Microphone Connected to
the MIC Terminal
When an external microphone is connected to the MIC terminal, the camcorder will switch
automatically from the built-in microphone to the external one.

Audio Recording Level

You can set the audio recording level to automatic or manual independently for each channel.
Furthermore, when you adjust the audio recording level manually, you can set the level (from –G to
18 dB) independently for each channel, as well. If the handle unit is not attached, adjust the audio
levels using the FUNC menu (A 76).
1 Set the audio level switch of the desired channel to A
(automatic) or M (manual).
• If you set the switch to A, the audio level will be adjusted
automatically and you do not need to perform the rest of
the procedure. If you set the switch to M, continue the
procedure to set the audio recording level.
2 Turn the corresponding audio level dial.
• For reference, MIN corresponds to –G, the larger mark in
the middle of the scale corresponds to 0 dB, and MAX
corresponds to +18 dB.
• As a guideline, adjust the audio recording level so that the
audio level meter will go to the right of the –18 dB mark (one
mark right of the –20 dB mark) only occasionally.
