Setting the Sound Recording
Wind filter : When [ Enable ] is set, it reduces the wind noise when
recording outdoors. This feature takes effect only with
the built-in microphone. Note that [
Enable ] reduces
low bass sounds, so set it to [ Disable ] when there is
no wind. It will record a more natural sound than with
[
Enable ].
Attenuator : Automatically suppresses sound distortion caused by
loud noises. Even if [ Sound rec. ] is set to [ Auto ] or
[ Manual ] before shooting, sound distortion may still
result if there is a very loud sound. In such a case,
setting it to [
Enable ] is recommended.
Using a microphone
Normally, the built-in microphone will record monaural sound.
Stereo sound recording is also possible by connecting an external
stereo microphone (commercially available) equipped with a
miniature stereo plug (
φ
3.5 mm) to the camera’s external
microphone IN terminal (p.27).
Wind Filter/Attenuator
In the <
A
> mode, [ Sound recording ] can be set to [ On ] or [ Off ]. If [ On ]
is set, the sound-recording level will be adjusted automatically (same as
with [
Auto ]), but the wind filter function will not take effect.
The sound volume balance between L (left) and R (right) cannot be
adjusted.
Audio is recorded at a 48 kHz/16-bit sampling rate.
If [
z
5: Silent Control ] is set to [ Enable
h
] (p.302), you can adjust the
sound-recording level with the <
h
> touch pad with less operation noise
during movie shooting.
