Setting the Sound Recording

Sound Recording/Sound-Recording Level
Auto : The sound-recording level is 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 (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. Also, no sound will be output
through HDMI output (p.348).

: When [Enable] is set, it reduces the wind noise when
recording outdoors. This feature takes effect only with the
built-in microphone. Note that [Enable] reduces low bass
sounds, so set it to [Disable] when there is no wind. It will
record a more natural sound than with [Enable].
: Automatically suppresses sound distortion caused by
loud noises. Even if [Sound rec.] is set to [Auto] or
[Manual] before shooting, sound distortion may still
result if there is a very loud sound. In such a case,
setting it to [Enable] is recommended.
You can shoot movies while recording sound
with the built-in monaural microphone or an
external stereo microphone (commercially
available). You can also freely adjust the
sound-recording level.
Sound-recording settings are under
[z4: Sound recording] (the [z2] tab
in <A>).
