Low-Cut Filter (MIC Terminal)
You can activate the low-cut filter for an external microphone connected to the MIC terminal. The low-cut filter
reduces the sound of blowing wind and other ambient sounds when recording outdoors. When recording in
surroundings unaffected by wind or if you want to record low-frequency sounds, we recommend turning off the
low-cut filter.

NOTES NOTES
• Connecting an external microphone that does not require power supply when [MIC Power] is set to [
i
On],
may damage the microphone.
[ H High]: Flattens out audio levels more and is best when recording multiple people talking at varying
levels, such as during a meeting.
[ L Low]: Keeps a clearer distinction between loud and quiet sounds and is best when recording
situations such as a musical performance. This setting is effective when the audio level meter
goes all the way to the right repeatedly.
[
j
Off]: To record scenes that are not mainly people talking or music performances.
