Channel Assignment Tips
• When using the camera's internal
mic, assign CH1 to INT MIC, then
plug in your external audio source
into the INPUT2 jack, and assign
CH2 to INPUT 2.
• When not using the internal mic,
be sure to assign CH1 to INPUT1.
• Always wear headsets to monitor
audio levels and quality of sound.
