Setting the Sound Recording

3
Sound Recording/Sound-Recording Level
[Auto] : The sound-recording level is adjusted automatically. Auto
level control will operate automatically in response to the
sound level.
[Manual] : For advanced users. You can adjust the sound recording
level to one of 64 levels. Select [Rec. level] and look at
the level meter while turning the <5> dial to adjust the
sound-recording level. While looking at the peak hold
indicator (3 sec.), adjust so that the level meter
sometimes lights up the "12" (-12 dB) mark on the right for
the loudest sounds. If it exceeds "0", the sound will be
distorted.
[Disable] : Sound will not be recorded.
Wind Filter
When set to [Enable], it reduces wind noise when there is wind
outdoors. This works only with the built-in microphone.
Note that [Enable] will also reduce low bass sounds, so set it to
[Disable] when there is no wind. It will make sound more natural than
with [Enable].
234
You can shoot movies while recording
sound with the built-in monaural
microphone or a commercially-available
stereo microphone. You can also freely
adjust the sound-recording level.
Set the sound recording with [z4:
Sound recording]. In the <A> mode,
this setting is displayed in [z2].
