I: AUTO/MAN (CH-2) switch

You can record sound in stereo using the
camcorder’s internal microphone.
1 Set the CH-1 (INT MIC/EXT/MI
SHOE) switch D and CH-2 (INT
MIC/EXT/MI SHOE) switch H to
“INT MIC.”
z Tips
• If the audio level is too low, set [INT MIC
SENS] to [HIGH].
• To reduce wind noise, set [INT MIC WIND] to
[ON].
• If the internal microphone is selected for both
channels 1 and 2 (CH-1: INT MIC, CH-2: INT
MIC), the sound that is output from the
headphones during recording and standby will
have weaker stereo effect than the sound that is
actually recorded.
Use the following procedure if using a
microphone or external audio device.
1 Select the audio input source.
• Set the INPUT1/INPUT2 (LINE/MIC/
MIC+48V) switch (C or G) based
on the device connected to INPUT1
jack A/INPUT2 jack B.
• To record using a microphone, select
“MIC” or “MIC+48V.”
See page 5 for details about
connecting a microphone.
b Notes
• If the switch is set to MIC+48V and you connect
a device that is not compatible with +48V
power, it may damage the connected device.
Check the switch before connecting the device.
• To prevent unwanted noise when no audio
device is connected to the INPUT1 or INPUT2
jack, set the INPUT1/INPUT2 (LINE/MIC/
MIC+48V) switch (C or G) to “LINE.”
2 Set the CH-1 (INT MIC/EXT/MI
SHOE) switch D and CH-2 (INT
MIC/EXT/MI SHOE) switch H to
“EXT.”
• If [INPUT CH SELECT] is set to
[INPUT1/INPUT2] in the [XLR SET]
menu, the audio input on the INPUT1
and INPUT2 jacks are recorded for
CH-1 and CH-2, respectively.
