Audio Recording
Be careful not to cover the microphone
and note that the built-in microphone
may record sounds made by the camera
or lens. By default, the camera focuses
continuously; to avoid recording focus
noise, select Single AF for Focus mode in
the movie menu (0 128). The Movie
sound options item in the movie menu
offers microphone sensitivity and wind
noise options (0 140).
