Note
When you have operation of the LEVEL (CH-1/CH-2)
controls and MIC LEVEL control linked together, if the
MIC LEVEL control is set to 0, the audio signals on

4-4-2 Manually Adjusting the Audio
Level of the Front Microphone
You can adjust the audio level input from the front
microphone connected to the MIC IN connector, which is
to be recorded on audio channels 1 and 2.
Notes
• When [1] and [2] are not displayed under the audio
channel level meters, the CH-1/2 / CH-3/4 switch is set
to the CH-3/4 position. Set this switch to CH-1/2.
• If the XLR connection automatic detection mode is on,
when the cables are connected to the AUDIO IN CH1/
CH2 connectors, the camcorder detects the connection to
the AUDIO IN CH1/CH2 connectors. Thus, the AUDIO
IN switches are internally reset to REAR and the audio
signals input to the AUDIO IN CH1/CH2 connectors are
automatically selected.
Before adjusting the audio level of the front microphone,
confirm that no cables are connected to the AUDIO IN
CH1/CH2 connectors. Alternatively, set the REAR XLR
AUTO item to "OFF" on the AUDIO-1 page of the
MAINTENANCE menu.
To adjust the audio level of the front microphone, proceed
as follows:
The MIC LEVEL
control is linked
with LEVEL (CH-1)
control.
The MIC LEVEL
control is linked
with LEVEL (CH-2)
control.
