Recording Audio
When the Handle Unit is Attached
With the handle unit attached, the audio level adjustment is done using
the audio controls on the handle unit.
1 Select the audio level adjustment mode with the CH1 audio level
switch.
• Automatic audio level adjustment: Set the CH1 audio level switch
to A. You do not need to perform the rest of the procedure.
Manual audio level adjustment: Set the CH1 audio level switch to
M. Continue the procedure to set the microphone's audio recording
level.
2 Turn the CH1 dial to adjust the audio level.
• For reference, 0 corresponds to -G, 5 corresponds to 0 dB, and
10 corresponds to +18 dB.
• As a guideline, adjust the audio recording level so that the audio level
meter on the screen will go to the right of the -18 dB mark (one mark
right of the -20 dB mark) only occasionally.
• Closing the protective cover will prevent the audio controls from being changed inadvertently.
When the Handle Unit is Not Attached
You can use an external microphone connected to the MIC terminal without attaching the handle unit. In such
case, adjust the microphone's audio recording level using the menu.
1 Open the [MIC Mode] submenu.
[¡ Audio Setup] > [Audio Input] > [MIC Mode]
2 Select [Automatic] or [Manual] and then press the joystick.
• If you selected [Automatic], you do not need to perform the rest of the
procedure. If you selected [Manual], continue the procedure to set the
microphone’s audio recording level.
3 Open the [MIC Level] screen.
[¡ Audio Setup] > [Audio Input] > [MIC Level]
4 Push the joystick up/down to set the audio recording level and then
press the joystick.
• For reference, 0 corresponds to -G, 50 corresponds to 0 dB, and
99 corresponds to +18 dB.
NOTES
• We recommend using headphones when adjusting the audio level. If
the input level is too high, audio may become distorted even if the audio
level indicator shows an appropriate level.
• If you set an assignable button to [Audio Level] (A 107), you can press
the button to turn the onscreen audio level indicator on and off.
