Sound recording J

Normally, the built-in microphones will 
record stereo sound. Stereo sound 
recording is also possible by connecting 
the Directional Stereo Microphone 
DM-E1 (sold separately) to the camera’s 
external microphone IN terminal (p.26) 
as the external microphone is given the 
priority.

[Sound rec./Rec. level] options

[Auto]

: The sound-recording level is adjusted automatically. 

Auto level control will operate automatically in 
response to the sound level.

[Manual] : For advanced users. You can adjust the sound-

recording level to one of 64 levels.
Select [Rec. level] and look at the level meter while 
pressing the <Y> <Z> keys to adjust the sound-
recording level. Look at the peak hold indicator 
(approx. 3 sec.), 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.

[Disable] : Sound will not be recorded.

[Wind filter]

When set to [Auto], it reduces wind noise when there is wind 
outdoors. This feature takes effect only with the built-in 
microphones. When the wind filter function takes effect, low bass 
sounds will also be reduced.

[Attenuator]

Even if you set [Sound recording] to [Auto] or [Manual] before 
shooting, sound distortion may still result if there is a very loud 
sound. In such a case, setting it to [Enable] is recommended.
