z Tips
-48dBu is set as 0dB in your camcorder.
Set [INPUT TRIM] to [0dB] for the supplied
microphone (ECM-XM1).
Set [INPUT TRIM] to [+12dB] for a
microphone with an average sensitivity,
including the optional microphone (Sony ECM-
NV1).
The INPUT TRIM function adjusts the input
level from an external microphone. When using
a highly sensitive microphone or recording loud
sound, set this to the minus side. When using a
less sensitive microphone or recording quiet
sound, set it to the plus side.
When recording loud sound, the sound may be
distorted at either the input point or the
recording point. If it is distorted at the input
point, adjust the sound using the INPUT TRIM
function. If it is distorted at the recording point,
lower the total volume level manually.
If you set INPUT TRIM too far to the minus
side, the microphone volume becomes too low,
resulting in a poor signal to noise ratio.
Test the effect of the INPUT TRIM function
according to the microphone used or the sound
field of the recording site before actual
recording.
