3 Setting the Sound Recording
Wind filter : When [Enable] is set, it reduces the wind noise when
recording outdoors. This feature works only when you
use the built-in microphone for movie shooting. Note
that [Enable] reduces low bass sounds, so set it to
[Disable] when there is no wind. It will record a more
natural sound than with [Enable].
Attenuator : Automatically suppresses sound distortion caused by
loud noises. Even if [Sound rec.] is set to [Auto] or
[Manual] before shooting, sound distortion may still
result if there is a very loud sound. In such a case,
setting it to [Enable] is recommended.
Using the microphone
Normally, the built-in microphone for movie shooting records
monaural sound. Stereo sound recording is possible by connecting
an external stereo microphone (commercially-available) equipped
with a miniature stereo plug (3.5 mm diameter) to the camera’s
external microphone IN terminal (p.28).
Line input
Line out stereo sound from a mixer, etc., can be input directly to the
camera. By connecting a miniature stereo plug (3.5 mm diameter) to
the camera’s Line IN terminal (p.28), stereo sound will be recorded
with the movie. The standard IN level is -8 dBV. Adjust the sound
recording level to suit the Line OUT level.
