If CH1 andCH2 are set to the built-in microphone and you set CH1 to automaticaudio level adjustment, then the camcorder will also automatically adjustthe audio level for CH2.NOTES• When both CH1 and CH2 are set to the same audio input (externalmicrophone or external line input), if the audio level is set to automatic,you can use the [m Audio Setup] [Audio Input] [XLR ALC Link]setting (0 171) to link the audio level adjustment of both channels.Manual Audio Level AdjustmentYou can set the audio level for each channel manually from -f to 18 dB.1 Set the e switch of the desired channel to M.2 Turn the corresponding e dial to adjust the audio level.• For reference, the 0 corresponds to -f, 5 corresponds to 0 dB, and10 corresponds to +18 dB.• As a guideline, adjust the audio recording level so that the audio levelmeter on the side panel will go to the right of the 18 dB mark onlyoccasionally.• Setting the switch to R will keep the dial set at its current positionand prevent it from being turned.NOTES• You can activate the audio peak limiter to prevent audio distortions.When activated, the audio peak limiter will limit the amplitude of audioinput signals when they exceed -4 dBFS. Use the [m Audio Setup][Audio Input] [Limiter] setting. The audio peak limiter can beactivated if at least one of the channels is set to manual audio leveladjustment.• We recommend using headphones when adjusting the audio level. Ifthe input level is too high, audio may become distorted even if theaudio level indicator shows an appropriate level.CH1/CH2eswitchesCH1/CH2eswitchesCH1/CH2edialsCOPYDownloaded From VideoCamera-Manual.com Manuals
