Microphone Input
Microphone input adjusts the recording levels of the built in microphone. Move the audio slider left
or right to increase or decrease levels. Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera and Blackmagic Pocket
Cinema Camera have built in stereo microphones, and Blackmagic Cinema Camera and Production
Camera 4K have built in mono microphones. The built in microphones record to audio channels 1
and 2 when no external audio source is connected.
Input Levels
External audio connectors accept audio at microphone level or line level. It's important to select
'mic' or 'line' level audio as appropriate to avoid your external audio sounding almost inaudible or
too hot and distorted.
Set the external audio input levels by using the left and right arrows, or if you're using the Blackmagic
Micro Cinema Camera, use the left and right arrow buttons on the camera.
