[Sound rec./Rec. level] options
[Auto] : The sound-recording level is adjusted automatically. Auto
level control will operate in response to the sound level.
[Manual] : For advanced users. You can adjust the recording level
manually. Select [Rec. level] and while looking at the level
meter, press the <Y> <Z> keys to adjust. The loudest
sound will be displayed for approx. 3 sec. Adjust so that
the level meter on the right of “12” lights up occasionally. If
it exceeds “0”, the sound will be distorted.
[Disable] : Sound is not recorded.
[Wind filter]
When set to [Enable], it reduces wind noise when there is wind outdoors.
This feature takes effect only with the built-in microphone.
Note that [Enable] will also reduce low bass sounds, so set this function to
[Disable] when there is no wind. It will record a more natural sound than
with [Enable].
[Attenuator]
Even if you set [Sound recording] to [Auto] or [Manual] and shoot, sound
distortion may still result if there is a very loud sound. In such a case,
setting it to [Enable] is recommended.
Video snapshots
You can shoot video snapshots. For details, see page 191.
The sound volume balance between L (left) and R (right) cannot be adjusted.
Both L and R record audio at a 48 kHz/16-bit sampling rate.
