Recording Audio
The camera features 4-channel linear PCM (24 bit, 48 kHz) audio recording and playback. You can record audio
using the INPUT terminals (commercially available microphones, analog line-in audio sources, AES/EBU digital
audio sources), the MIC terminal (commercially available microphones) or the built-in monaural microphone*.
The audio signal will be output with the video signal from the SDI OUT terminals, MON. terminals and HDMI OUT
terminal. You can record this audio signal on an external recorder.
* Only for recording notes while shooting.
Audio Settings and Recorded Audio Channels
Which audio inputs are recorded to which audio channels is determined by a combination of menu settings and
audio-related controls on the camera.
