-:

Reset:

Hint

When you record audio movies with loud volumes, set [Audio Rec Level] to a lower sound level. Doing so enables you to record
more realistic audio. When you record audio movies with lower volumes, set [Audio Rec Level] to a greater sound level to make
the sound easier to hear.

Note

Regardless of the [Audio Rec Level] settings, the limiter always operates.

[Audio Rec Level] is available only when the shooting mode is set to movie mode.

[Audio Rec Level] is unavailable during slow-motion/quick-motion shooting.

The [Audio Rec Level] settings are applied for both the internal microphone and the
