  The sound-recording level is adjusted automatically. Auto level control will take effect automatically in response to the sound level.

• Manual

  You can adjust the sound-recording level as needed. Adjust the level in [Rec. level].

Caution

• Do not change the [Recording mode] settings when listening with headphones. This may cause sudden loud output that may hurt your ears.

Note

• Recording levels are shown in the level meter at the bottom of the screen.

Recording Level

Available when [Recording mode] is set to [Manual].

To adjust the sound-recording level, turn the dial while watching the level meter. Look at the peak hold indicator, and adjust so that the level meter sometimes lights up on the right of the “12” (–12 dB) mark for the loudest sounds. If it exceeds “0”, the sound will be distorted.

Wind Filter

Available when using the built-in microphone or multi-function shoe microphones that are compatible with wind filters.

Set to [Enable] to reduce wind noise when there is wind outdoors. When the wind filter function takes effect, part of the low bass sounds will also be reduced.
