Audio Recording

Changing the Audio Mode
You can record sound in two audio modes—16-bit and 12-bit. The 12-bit mode records
sound on two channels (stereo 1), leaving 2 channels free (stereo 2) for adding new
sound later. Select the 16-bit mode for higher sound quality.

connected to the MIC terminal. Use a
microphone with a built-in power supply
(condenser microphone).
❍ The audio level differs from that of the built-in microphone.
❍ Be careful with long microphones as they may appear in the picture.
