Auto level control will operate automatically in
response to the sound level.

while looking at the level meter to adjust the sound-
recording level. Look at the peak hold indicator
(approx. 3 sec.), and adjust so that the level meter
sometimes lights up on the right of the “12” (-12 dB)
mark for the loudest sounds. If it exceeds “0”, the
sound will be distorted.
[

] : Sound will not be recorded.
[
Wind filter
]
When set to [
Auto
], it reduces wind noise when there is wind
outdoors. This feature works only when you use the built-in
microphones for movie shooting. When the wind filter function
takes effect, part of the low bass sounds will also be reduced.
[
Attenuator
]
Automatically suppresses sound distortion caused by loud noises.
Even if [
Sound rec.
] is set to [
Auto
] or [
Manual
] for shooting,
sound distortion may still result if there is a very loud sound. In
such a case, setting it to [
Enable
] is recommended.
If you use the Wi-Fi (wireless communication) function with an external
microphone, the sound noise may be recorded. During sound recording,
using the wireless communication function is not recommended.
In Basic Zone modes, the settings available for [
Sound recording
] will
be [
On
]/[
Off
]. If [
On
] is set, the sound-recording level will be adjusted
automatically (same as with [
Auto
]), and the wind filter function will take
effect.
The sound volume balance between L (left) and R (right) cannot be
adjusted.
For both L and R, audio is recorded at a 48 kHz/16-bit sampling rate.
