Adjusting the Audio Recording Level
You can set the audio recording level to automatic or manual adjustment, independently for each channel.
Automatic Audio Level Adjustment for CH1 or CH2
Set the audio level switch of the desired channel to A (automatic) to
let the camera automatically adjust that channel’s audio level.
Manual Audio Level Adjustment for CH1 or CH2
You can set the audio level for each channel manually from –
∞
to
+18 dB.
1 Set the audio level switch of the desired channel to M (manual).
2 Turn the corresponding – dial to adjust the audio level.
• For reference, the 0 corresponds to –
∞
, 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 screen will go to the right of the –18 dB mark
(one mark right of the –20 dB mark) only occasionally.
• Closing the protective cover will prevent the audio controls from
being changed inadvertently.
