Automatic Audio Level Adjustment
Set the e switch of the desired channel to A (automatic) to let
the camcorder automatically adjust that channel’s audio level. If CH1 and
CH2 are set to the built-in microphone and you set CH1 to automatic
audio level adjustment, then the camcorder will also automatically adjust
the audio level for CH2.
NOTES
• When both CH1 and CH2 are set to the same audio input (external
microphone or external line input), if the audio level is set to automatic,
you can use the [m Audio Setup]
[Audio Input] [XLR ALC Link]
setting (0 177) to link the audio level adjustment of both channels.
Manual Audio Level Adjustment
You can set the audio level for each channel manually from -f to 18 dB.
1 Set the e switch of the desired channel to M.
2 Turn the corresponding e dial to adjust the audio level.
• For reference, the 0 corresponds to -f, 5 corresponds to 0 dB, and
10 corresponds to +18 dB.
• As a guideline, adjust the audio recording level so that the audio level
meter on the side panel will go to the right of the 18 dB mark only
occasionally.
• Setting the switch to R will keep the dial set at its current position
and prevent it from being turned.
NOTES
• You can activate the audio peak limiter to prevent audio distortions.
When activated, the audio peak limiter will limit the amplitude of audio
input signals when they exceed -4 dBFS. Use the [m Audio Setup]
[Audio Input] [Limiter] setting. The audio peak limiter can be
activated if at least one of the channels is set to manual audio level
adjustment.
• We recommend using headphones when adjusting the audio level. If
the input level is too high, audio may become distorted even if the
audio level indicator shows an appropriate level.
