Using the built-in microphone

angles of the microphones to be changed. You can choose
clear stereo sound or wide stereo sound according to the
recording source, situation, etc. by opening or closing the
microphone pair.

Setting the mics to record a wide stereo sound
(A-B position)
Spread the stereo microphone to the left and right. (A-B
position)
Set this way, the two microphones are spread widely left and
right, and recording is possible with a strong stereo field that
is good for music, for example.
If you open or close the microphone pair while using the built-
in stereo microphone and the left-right channels does not suit
the angle of the microphone, a pop-up message appears to
ask whether you want to swap the left-right channels of the
microphone. (See "Microphone position detection" on page 34.)
NOTE
Set the left-right channels of the built-in microphone to L-R.
When you are using the built-in microphone and the setting is
not L-R, appears on the Home Screen. (See "Swapping the
left-right channels of the built-in microphone pair" on page
33.)
