Before shooting
• If
your camcorder
is
equipped with a \) (headphones)
terminal,
check
that
the
microphone is
functioning
correctly by connecting
to it
one
the
supplied earphones or a pair of
headphones,
speaking
into the
microphone, and
monitoring
the sound
that is picked up.
• Depending
on
the
camcorder
used,
you may be able
to
display an
audio level
indicator
on your camcorder's screen.

built-in
microphone (Audio Mix
function).
Set
[Audio
Mix]
to [On] and adjust
the
audio
mix
balance.
Because
audio
from the
WM-V1
is
processed digitally, when the
WM-V1 's
microphone is too
close
to the
camcorder's
built-in
microphone
there
may be a slight
lag
between
the
sound from each
microphone,
creating an echo (reverberation)
effect
in the recorded
sound.
In
such case,
increase the
distance between the WM-V1's
microphone
and the camcorder.

reset to
its
default
value when

You can connect both supplied earphones to the receiver and
the
microphone
units

is
processed digitally,
there may
be a
slight
lag between the
actual sound and
the

creating an echo effect. This
is not
a malfunction.
