well. There are two settings in ALC, one is for
normal recording and the other is for record­
ing high volume sound without distortion (e.g.
the sound of jet planes or trains) or use of the
mike near the subject's mouth with loud back­
ground noise. Sound fading over a con­
tinuously adjustable range is also possible.
• Three-Way Audio Level Dial
This dial operates the two settings of
ALC, fading by continuous control and
auxiliary input.
• Special Tone Select Switch
It is possible to adjust the frequency
characteristic by this switch in order to attain
clear sound recording. It is very effective to
eliminate low frequencies for 1. diminishing
wind noise, 2. compensating, the close-up
effect of a microphone used near subject's
mouth, 3. preventing spurious noise, (low
frequency sound such as the noise of a fan).
• Microphone with remote control switch
• Sound monitoring is possible by releasing
the shutter lever at the first step.
