To display the audio level indicator
Usually, the audio level indicator will be displayed only after activating
the manual adjustment of the audio recording level. You can choose to
display it also when the audio level is adjusted automatically.
(_ NOTES
• When you are using a microphone connected to the MIC terminal,
including the WM-V1 Wireless Microphone, the audio level indicator will
be displayed automatically.
• When the audio level meter reaches the red point (0 dB), the sound may
be distorted.
• We recommend using headphones to check the sound level while
adjusting the audio recording level.
