Recording Audio Connecting an External Microphone or External Audio Input Source to the Camcorder To each of the INPUT terminals you can attach commercially available microphones or analog line-in sources with an XLR connector. To use the INPUT terminals and microphone holder, the handle unit must be correctly attached to the camcorder. To the MIC terminal you can attach commercially available condenser microphones with a ∅ 3.5 mm stereo mini plug.
Recording Audio Recording the Same Audio Input to Two Channels 80 By default, when using the INPUT terminals, each audio input is recorded to a separate audio channel (INPUT 1 to CH1 and INPUT 2 to CH2). If necessary (for example, as an audio backup recording), you can record the audio input into the INPUT 1 terminal to both audio channels, CH1 and CH2. In that case, you can adjust the audio recording levels of each channel independently of each other. 1 Select [CH2 Input].
Recording Audio Adjusting the Audio Recording Level You can adjust the audio recording level of the various audio channels using the audio controls on the handle unit or the audio screen in the FUNC menu. The audio screen shows an overview of the audio channels used and, for each audio channel: the audio input currently selected, whether the audio recording level is adjusted automatically or manually and the audio level indicator.
Recording Audio Manual Audio Level Adjustment for CH1 or CH2 When the handle unit is attached to the camcorder, adjust the audio level using the controls on the handle unit. If the handle unit is not attached, adjust the audio levels using the FUNC menu (A 82). 82 CH1/CH2 audio level dials CH1/CH2 audio level switches 1 Set the audio level switch of the desired channel to M (manual). 2 Turn the corresponding audio level dial.
Recording Audio Audio peak limiter • If at least one of the channels is set to the INPUT terminals and manual audio level adjustment, you can activate the audio limiter to lessen audio distortions. When activated, the audio limiter will limit the amplitude of audio input signals when they start to distort. Use the > [¡ " Audio Setup] > [INPUT 1/2 Limiter] setting.
Recording Audio Low-Cut Filter (Built-in Microphone) 84 When one of the audio channels is set to the built-in microphone/MIC terminal and no external microphone is connected to the MIC terminal, you can activate the low cut filter to reduce the sound of blowing wind and other ambient sounds when recording outdoors. When recording in surroundings unaffected by wind or if you want to record low-frequency sounds, we recommend turning off the low-cut filter. 1 Select [Built-in Mic Low Cut].
