Audio Recording - Canon DM-GL1 Instruction Manual

Audio Recording

Selecting the audio mode
The GL1 can record sound in two audio modes:
• 16-bit (48 kHz, 2 channel) for the highest sound quality
• 12-bit (32 kHz, 2 from 4 channels) for recording on two channels (stereo 1), leaving two channels
(stereo 2) free for you to add new sound at a later date.
AUDIO MODE••12bit
(see p. 34)
1. To switch the mode, open the camera or VCR menu and select AUDIO MODE.
2. Select a mode, and close the menu.
• The name of your chosen mode is displayed for 4 seconds.
Note:
• For audio output details, including how to play back a tape that has new sound on stereo 2, see page 86.
Wind screen
The camera has an automatic wind screen to prevent wind noise from interfering with the sound track.
Make sure it's off when you want the microphone to be as sensitive as possible. Use the wind screen when
recording in windy places such as the beach or near buildings.
The wind screen does not operate with an external microphone. The WIND SCREEN menu options
disappear ("— — —") when an external microphone is connected to the MIC terminal.
WIND SCREEN•OFF
