Notes on use

To protect the connector of the Multi Interface foot from damage while carrying around this unit, remove the unit from

the camera, attach the connector protect cap to the foot and put the unit in the supplied pouch.

While recording is in progress, operation and handling noises of a camera or a lens may be recorded. Touching this

unit while recording is in progress causes a noise to be included in the recording.

During audio monitoring or recording on the camera, audio delay may be noticeable.

If delay in audio monitoring seems annoying, set [Audio Out Timing] to [Live] on the camera. This may reduce audio

delay. (Only applicable to the compatible camera)

If delay in audio recording seems annoying set the DIGITAL/ANALOG switch to "DIGITAL." This may reduce audio

delay. (Applicable when this unit is used in combination with the camera that is compatible with the digital audio

interface.)

Before changing the lens, make sure that no wind screen fibers are present on the surface of the lens and the

camera body. If present, clean them off with a blower etc. and then change the lens.

If dust or water droplets are present on the surface of the microphone, a successful recording may not be possible.

Be sure to clean the microphone surface before using this unit.
