You can use this setting when recording audio for backup purposes. [ INPUT 2] The audio signal input through the INPUT 2 terminal will be recorded to channel 2 while the audio signal input through the INPUT 1 terminal will be recorded to channel 1. [ Built-in Mic/MIC] The audio captured by the built-in microphone or audio signal input through the MIC terminal will be recorded to channel 2 while the audio signal input through the INPUT 1 terminal will be recorded to channel 1. You can use this setting when recording audio for backup purposes. NOTES • Even if you select [ INPUT 1], the audio recording level for channel 2 will be determined by the audio level switch and dial for INPUT 2. • If you select [ Built-in Mic/MIC], the camcorder will record monaural sound. In such case, [FUNC.] > [- Audio Scene] will be set to [' Standard]. Audio Recording Level (INPUT Terminals) You can set the audio recording level for audio input to automatic or manual independently for each channel. Furthermore, when you adjust the audio recording level manually, you can set the level (from -G to 18 dB) independently for each channel, as well. 1 Set the audio level switch of the desired channel to A (automatic) or M (manual). • If you set the switch to A, the audio level will be adjusted automatically and you do not need to perform the rest of the procedure. If you set the switch to M, continue the procedure to set the audio recording level. 2 Turn the corresponding audio level dial. • For reference, MIN corresponds to -G, the larger mark in the middle of the scale corresponds to 0 dB, and MAX corresponds to +18 dB. • As a guideline, adjust the audio recording level so that the audio level meter will go to the right of the -18 dB mark (one mark right of the -20 dB mark) only occasionally.
