3 Setting the Sound Recording
Using a microphone
Normally, the built-in microphone will record monaural sound.
Stereo sound recording is also possible by connecting an external
stereo microphone (commercially available) equipped with a
miniature stereo plug (φ3.5 mm) to the camera’s external
microphone IN terminal (p.23).
Using headphones
By connecting stereo headphones (commercially available)
equipped with a 3.5 mm diameter mini plug to the camera’s
headphone terminal (p.23), you can listen to the sound during movie
shooting. If you are using an external stereo microphone
(commercially available), you can listen to the sound in stereo. To
adjust the headphones’ sound volume, press the <Q> button and
select <n>. Then turn <5> to adjust (p.329).
You can also use headphones during movie playback.
When using headphones for audio, noise reduction will not be applied to the
headphone output. Because of this, what you hear will differ from the actual
audio recorded with the movie.
In the <A> mode, [Sound recording] can be set to [On] or [Off]. If [On]
is set, the sound-recording level will be adjusted automatically (same as
with [Auto]), but the wind filter function will not take effect.
When the camera is connected to a TV set with the HDMI cable, sound
will also be output (except when [Sound recording] is set to [Off]). If the
sound from the TV set causes audio feedback, place the camera farther
away from the TV set or turn down the TV set’s sound volume.
You can also adjust the headphones’ volume by pressing the <Q>
button, then holding down the <c> button and titling <9> up or
down.
The sound volume balance between L (left) and R (right) cannot be
adjusted.
Audio is recorded at a 48 kHz/16-bit sampling rate.
If [z5: Silent Control] is set to [Enable h] (p.338), you can adjust the
sound-recording level with the <h> touch pad with less operation noise
during movie shooting.
