Built-in Microphone

You can record sound with this microphone.

0

Quick Point IV

Quick Point IV allows you to control the mouse pointer.

Critical Point

You may experience feedback noise when you use minus-one music software and other
software that uses simultaneously the microphone and speakers. In this case, adjust the
sound volume level or use a headphones or an external microphone available in stores.
Do not close the LCD when you use the built-in microphone to avoid feedback noise.
The recorded sound from the built-in microphone may not clear when the distance or the
direction of the sound source is not appropriate. We recommend you to use an external
microphone to record sound clearly.
