Recording with the supplied
microphone

to your camcorder, appears on the
screen.

• Do not hold your camcorder by the microphone.
This may cause a malfunction.
• Because each supplied microphone is tuned at the
factory with one camcorder, another microphone
of the same model cannot record properly in 5.1ch
surround sound with your camcorder.
• If your supplied microphone is lost or damaged,
contact your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony
service facility. You must also leave your
camcorder with us so that we can tune your new
