Normally, the built-in microphones

will record the sound in stereo. If the

Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold

separately) is connected to the camera’s

external microphone IN terminal (

=

the external microphone will be given the

priority.

(1) Level meter

[Sound rec./Rec. level] options

[Auto]

: The sound-recording level is adjusted automatically.

Auto level control will operate automatically in response

to the sound level.

[Manual]

: For advanced users. You can adjust the sound-

recording level to one of 64 levels.

Select

[Rec. level]

and press the <

Y

> <

Z

> keys while

looking at the level meter to adjust the sound-recording

level. Look at the peak hold indicator (approx. 3 sec.),

and adjust so that the level meter sometimes lights up

on the right of the “12” (-12 dB) mark for the loudest

sounds. If it exceeds “0”, the sound will be distorted.

[Disable]

: Sound will not be recorded.

[Wind filter]

When set to

[Auto]

, it reduces wind noise when there is wind outdoors.

This feature works only when you use the built-in microphones for

movie shooting. When the wind filter function takes effect, part of the

low bass sounds will also be reduced.

[Attenuator]

Automatically suppresses sound distortion caused by loud noises.

Even if

[Sound rec.]

is set to

[Auto]

or

[Manual]

for shooting, sound

distortion may still result if there is a very loud sound. In such a case,

setting it to

[Enable]

is recommended.

z

If you use the Wi-Fi (wireless communication) function with an external

microphone, the sound noise may be recorded. During sound recording,

using the wireless communication function is not recommended.
