to record environmental sounds in particular or include the voice of a photographer in the recording.

“20dB.” To record quiet sounds while amplifying the sounds, select “0dB.” It is recommended that you select an

option while monitoring the volume level meter on the camera or the audio recording volume with headphones.

It is recommended that you adjust the level while monitoring the volume level meter on the camera or the audio

FILTER switch

NC: Select this option to use the noise cut filter function. Unpleasant noises are effectively eliminated by digital signal

processing. If the sound quality does not seem appropriate, select “OFF.”

and vibration noise, are minimized.

OFF: Select this option to disable either of the filter functions.

Note

Hand-held use of the attached camera in a quiet place may cause a soft vibrating sound to be recorded.

If the recorded vibrating sound is disturbing, set the FILTER switch to “LC” and try all over again.

DIGITAL/ANALOG switch

Select the digital or analog input type.

If your camera is compatible with the digital audio interface of the Multi Interface Shoe, set the switch to “DIGITAL.”

This allows the unit and the attached camera to communicate with each other with digital signals and provide audio

recording with minimum noise insertion.
