Audio Meters
The audio meters display the strength of your recorded audio. If your audio levels rise too high, your
audio peaks can be clipped and you will hear distortion in your audio.
The Menu button opens the touch screen menu for access to
many of the camera settings.
Set and monitor levels of Left and Right audio channels
using the adjustment knobs and audio meters.
