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.

[¡ 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.

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.
