Recording setting of the built-in microphone can be adjusted.
Set [REC FORMAT] to [AVCHD]. (l 91)
*1 The option is displayed only when [5.1ch/2ch] is set to [5.1ch].
*2 The option is displayed only when [5.1ch/2ch] is set to [2ch].
If you wish to record higher quality sound and maintain realism even when zooming in, for
instance, when recording a music recital, we recommend setting [MIC SETUP] to [SURROUND].
[STEREO MIC] will be selected in the following cases:
j When [REC FORMAT] is set to a setting other than [AVCHD]
j When using an external microphone
When [Directional] in [Customize] in [Sound Scene Select] is set to [MONO], [SURROUND] and
[STEREO MIC] cannot be set. (If you set [MONO], [SURROUND] and [STEREO MIC] will be
switched to [ZOOM MIC])
[MIC SETUP]
: [RECORD SETUP] # [MIC SETUP] # desired setting
[SURROUND]
*1
: Records the surrounding sound with added realism.
[ZOOM MIC]: Sound is recorded with changing the directionality in conjunction
with the zoom operation. Sounds near the front of the unit are
recorded more clearly if you zoom in (close-up) and surrounding
sounds are recorded more realistically if you zoom out (wide angle).
[FOCUS MIC]
*1
: The forward sound is recorded more clearly by enhancing the
directionality toward the centre.
[STEREO MIC]
*2
: Records sound from two forward directions.
