3 Setting the Sound Recording Using a microphone Normally, the built-in microphone will record monaural sound. Stereo sound recording is also possible by connecting an external stereo microphone (commercially available) equipped with a miniature stereo plug (φ3.5 mm) to the camera's external microphone IN terminal (p.23). Using headphones By connecting stereo headphones (commercially available) equipped with a 3.5 mm diameter mini plug to the camera's headphone terminal (p.23), you can listen to the sound during movie shooting. If you are using an external stereo microphone (commercially available), you can listen to the sound in stereo. To adjust the headphones' sound volume, press the button and select . Then turn to adjust (p.329). You can also use headphones during movie playback. When using headphones for audio, noise reduction will not be applied to the headphone output. Because of this, what you hear will differ from the actual audio recorded with the movie. In the mode, [Sound recording] can be set to [On] or [Off]. If [On] is set, the sound-recording level will be adjusted automatically (same as with [Auto]), but the wind filter function will not take effect. When the camera is connected to a TV set with the HDMI cable, sound will also be output (except when [Sound recording] is set to [Off]). If the sound from the TV set causes audio feedback, place the camera farther away from the TV set or turn down the TV set's sound volume. You can also adjust the headphones' volume by pressing the button, then holding down the button and titling up or down. The sound volume balance between L (left) and R (right) cannot be adjusted. Audio is recorded at a 48 kHz/16-bit sampling rate. If [z5: Silent Control] is set to [Enable h] (p.338), you can adjust the sound-recording level with the touch pad with less operation noise during movie shooting. 337
