fluorescent, mercury or sodium lamps. To reduce the symptoms, set the recording program to

Noise can be heard along with the recorded sound
- When recording sound with an external microphone, the interference caused by wireless
communications may be picked up and recorded as noise. We recommend turning off the
wireless communication while recording (0 140).
