To display the audio level indicator
Usually, the audio level indicator will be displayed only after activating
the manual adjustment of the audio recording level. You can choose to
display it also when the audio level is adjusted automatically.
NOTES
• When the audio level meter reaches the red point (0 dB), the sound may
be distorted.
• If the audio level is too high and the sound gets distorted, activate the
microphone attenuator with the
7
8
[Microphone Attenuator] set-
ting (or [Surround Mic Attenuator] when the optional SM-V1 Surround
Microphone is attached to the camcorder).
• We recommend using headphones to check the sound level while
adjusting the audio recording level or when the microphone attenuator
is activated.
Built-In Microphone Directionality
You can change the directionality of the built-in microphone to have
more control over how sound is recorded.
