3 Setting the Sound Recording You can shoot movies while recording sound with the built-in stereo microphone or a commercially-available stereo microphone. You can also freely adjust the sound-recording level. Set the sound recording with [Z2: Sound recording]. Sound Recording/Sound-Recording Level [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 turning the dial to adjust the sound-recording level. While looking at the peak hold indicator (3 sec.), adjust so that the level meter sometimes lights up the "12" (-12 dB) mark on the right for the loudest sounds. If it exceeds "0", the sound will be distorted. [Disable] : Sound will not be recorded. Wind Filter/Attenuator [Wind filter] : When [Enable] is set, it reduces the wind noise when recording outdoors. This feature takes effect only with the built-in microphone. Note that [Enable] will also reduce low bass sounds, so set this function to [Disable] when there is no wind. It will record a more natural sound than with [Enable]. [Attenuator] : Even if [Sound rec.] is set 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. 268
