[Auto]:

The audio recording level is adjusted automatically 
according to the volume of the sound. When [Auto] is 
selected, you can only set the Wind filter function.

[Manual]: Function for advanced users. You can adjust the audio 

recording level as desired. 
Drag the audio recording level slider while checking the 
level meter to adjust the audio recording level. When the 
volume is loud, refer to the peak hold function (approx. 3 
seconds) while adjusting so that the right side of “12” on 
the level meter (-12 dB) lights intermittently. Exceeding 
“0” results in sound cracking.

[Disable]: Sound is not recorded.

When you want to reduce the sound of the wind recorded while 
shooting outdoors, checkmark the Wind filter function box to enable 
the Wind filter function. It will function only when using a built-in 
microphone. However, when enabled, low bass sounds are also 
partially reduced, and it is recommended that you remove the 
check mark from this box in locations with no wind, to disable the 
Wind filter function.
