audio level automatically for the proper recording.
There are two levels that can be set for different
purposes.
Auto Level Setting: For normal recording.
Low Level Setting: For recording high volume
sounds without distortion (e.g. the sound of jet
planes or trains) or use of the mike near the
subject's mouth with loud background.
• Fading
Replace the Lock Button and rotate the Audio
Level Dial counterclockwise. The volume is contin­
uously controlled from high level to 0, so it will
permit fading out. As the dial is rotated clockwise,
the volume level is increased to the standard level,
so it will permit fading in. You should accomplish
complete fade-in or fade-out in about 4 seconds for
best result.
• It is advisable not to set the dial except in the
two positions during filming since it cannot be
locked.
• Auxiliary Input
Please refer to page 36 for the auxiliary input
circuit which is the third feature of this dial.
O Tone Select Switch

effectively or diminishing noise. For recording
ordinary sound, it can be set to "SOFT".
