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.
Use the
audio
level
indicator to
check
the
audio
recording levels.
•
Depending on the camcorder used, you
may
be able
to manually
adjust the audio
recording level.
Select
[Mic.Level] from the
camcorder's
FUNC.
panel and set it to
[M
Manual].
• Depending
on the camcorder used, you
may be
able
to mix
and
record audio
from
both the WM-V1 and the camcorder's
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.
Checking sound from the microphone using the supplied
earphone
•
You can check
the
sound picked
up
with
the microphone by
connecting one of the supplied earphones
to the microphone's
earphone jack. Adjust
the
volume as
necessary
with
the
VOLUME
+1
-
buttons.
(The volume wi
ll
be
reset to
its
default
value when
the
microphone
unit is
turned off.)
•
You can connect both supplied earphones to the receiver and
the
microphone
units
to allow transceiver communication.
• Because
audio
from the
WM-V1
is
processed digitally,
there may
be a
slight
lag between the
actual sound and
the
audio you
hear from
the
earphone,
creating an echo effect. This
is not
a malfunction.
Bluetooth wireless communication
• Bluetooth
wireless
communication
is set up to be established
automatically only between the microphone and
receiver units
of
the
WM -V1.
Bluetooth
wireless communication with devices other
than
the WM -V1
is
not supported.
• If the microphone is
too close to the camcorder, RF
interference may
cause noise
in
the recorded sound.
Keep the
microphone at
least 1
m
(3
ft.)
away
from the
camcorder
during use.
