shooting (see the table below). You can switch the
source for each channel between the built-in
microphone, another microphone, or audio
equipment connected to the camera.
1 Switch the CH1 SELECT switch to INT (L).
• Audio from the built-in microphone Lch is
recorded to audio channel 1.
2 Switch the CH2 SELECT switch to INT (R).
• Audio from the built-in microphone Rch is
recorded to audio channel 2.
1 Connect an external microphone or audio
equipment to the INPUT 1/2 (XLR 3-pin)
terminal. (Page 59)
2 Use the INPUT 1/2 switch to switch the audio
input.
LINE: (audio equipment is connected)
Input level is 0 dBu.
MIC: (another microphone is connected)
Input level is -50 dBu.
You can change the input level to -60 dBu in
the setup menus, RECORDING SETUP
screen MIC GAIN 1 and MIC GAIN 2 (Page
74). Be aware that sensitivity will be higher if
you choose -60 dBu so you will record more
noise.
3 When using the phantom microphone, set the
INPUT 1/2 (MIC POWER +48V) switch to ON.
ON: (When using the phantom microphone)
48V power supply to INPUT 1/2 terminal.

connected)
No power supply for INPUT 1/2 terminal.
• The battery will discharge faster if you use a
phantom microphone.
• Set to OFF if you connect equipment not
compatible with +48V. You can damage such
equipment if you leave the setting at ON.

INPUT 2: Audio from a device connected to
INPUT 2 terminal is recorded to channel 1.
5 Use the CH2 SELECT switch to select the
input signal to be recorded to audio channel 2.
INT (R):
Audio from the built-in microphone Rch is
recorded to audio channel 2.
INPUT 2:
Audio from a device connected to INPUT 2
terminal is recorded to channel 2.
