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, 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.

recorded outdoors. This feature takes effect only with
the built-in microphone.
Note that [Enable] will also reduce low bass sounds, so
set this function to [Disable] when there is no wind. It
will record a more natural sound than with [Enable].
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 a commercially-available
stereo microphone. You can also freely
adjust the sound-recording level.
Set the sound recording with [Z2:
Sound recording].
