Sound Recording
Attenuator
Automatically suppresses sound distortion caused by loud noises. Even if
[Sound rec.] is set to [Auto] or [Manual] for recording, sound distortion
may still result if there is a very loud sound. In this case, setting it to [Enable]
is recommended.
External Microphone
Normally, the camera’s built-in microphone records in stereo.
If an external microphone equipped with a miniature stereo plug (3.5 mm
diameter) is connected to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal, the
external microphone will be given the priority. Using the Directional Stereo
Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) is recommended.

Sounds from Wi-Fi operations may be captured with built-in or external
microphones. During sound recording, using the wireless communication
function is not recommended.

When connecting an external microphone to the camera, be sure to insert the
plug all the way in.

The camera’s built-in microphone will also record the operation sound and
mechanical sound of the camera during shooting. Using Directional Stereo
Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) may reduce such sounds in the movie.

Do not connect anything other than an external microphone to the camera’s
external microphone IN terminal.
