Selecting the audio mode

(see p. 27)
VISTURA can record sound in two audio modes — 16 bit (48kHz, 2 channel)
and 12 bit (32 kHz, 4 channel). The 16 bit mode produces the higher sound
quality (slightly superior to CD) while the 12 bit mode records on two channels
(stereo 1), leaving two channels free (stereo 2) for you to add new sound at a later
date.
1. To switch to the 12 bit mode open the camera menu and select
AUDIO MODE.
2. Select "12 bit" and close the menu.
• "12 bit" is shown in the display for approximately 4 seconds.
Notes:
• You cannot add new sound to a tape using this camcorder.
• For details of playing back a tape that has new sound on stereo 2, see page 76.
Headphones and external microphone
For greater creative control over audio
recording, you can connect an external
microphone to the camera's MIC
terminal.
You can monitor the sound while
recording by attaching stereo
headphones to the camera's H terminal.
You can adjust the volume of attached headphones by pressing the volume control
buttons.
• A VOLUME bar appears in the display to indicate the current volume.
• The volume control buttons also adjust the speaker volume once you remove
the headphones from the headphones socket when the camera is in VCR mode.
