You can shoot movies while recording
sound with the built-in monaural
microphone or a commercially-available
stereo microphone. You can also freely
adjust the sound-recording level.
Set the sound recording with [
Z
2:
Sound recording
].
[
Auto
]
: The sound-recording level is adjusted automatically. Auto
level control will operate automatically in response to the
sound level.
[
Manual
]
: For advanced users. You can adjust the sound recording
level to one of 64 levels.
Select [
Rec. level
] and look at the level meter while
turning the <
5
> dial to adjust the sound recording level.
While looking at the peak hold indicator, adjust so that the
level meter sometimes lights up the “12” (-12 dB) mark on
the right for the loudest sounds. If it exceeds “0”, the
sound will be distorted.
[
Disable
]
: Sound will not be recorded.
[
Wind filter
] : When [
Enable
] is set, it reduces the wind noise
recorded outdoors. This feature takes effect only with
the built-in microphone.
Note that [
Enable
] will also reduce low bass sounds, so
set this function to [
Disable
] when there is no wind. It
will record a more natural sound than with [
Enable
].
[
Attenuator
] : Even if [
Sound recording
] 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.
