Changing the Audio Mode
You can record sound in two audio modes—16-bit and 12-bit. The 12-bit mode records
sound on two channels (stereo 1), leaving 2 channels free (stereo 2) for adding new
sound later. Select the 16-bit mode for higher sound quality.
* MV650i/MV630i/MV600i only.
Open the menu and select [AUDIO SET UP]. Select [AUDIO MODE], set it to
[16bit] and close the menu.
“16 bit” appears for approximately 4 seconds.
For adding new sound, see
Audio Dubbing
(

Recording with an External Microphone
You can use an external microphone for
recording. Almost all stereo microphones with
a plug diameter of 3.5 mm can be connected
to the MIC terminal. Use a microphone with a
built-in power supply (condenser
microphone).
❍
The audio level differs from that of the built-in microphone.
❍
Be careful with long microphones as they may appear in the picture.
