Setting the mics to record a clear stereo sound
(X-Y position)
Close the stereo microphone. (X-Y position)
Set this way, the microphone pair is close, and recording is
possible with a clear stereo field with less phase difference.
If you open or close the microphone pair while using the built-
in stereo microphone and the left-right channels does not suit
the angle of the microphone, a pop-up message appears to
ask whether you want to swap the left-right channels of the
microphone. (See “Microphone position detection” on page
34.)
NOTE
Set the left-right channels of the built-in microphone to R-L.
When you are using the built-in microphone and the setting is
not R-L, appears on the Home Screen. (See “Swapping the
left-right channels of the built-in microphone pair” below.)
Swapping the left-right channels of the
built-in microphone pair
Depending on the angles at which the microphones are set,
the recording channels of the left and right microphones can
be swapped.
When the microphone pair is open, the left microphone
should be set to the left channel and the right microphone
should be set to the right channel (When A-B position,
L-R
).
When the microphone pair is closed, the left microphone
should be set to the right channel and the right microphone
should be set to the left channel (When X-Y position,
R-L
).
If you are using the built-in microphone and this setting is
not used, the current microphone setting icon appears as a
warning on the Home Screen.
