The optional ME-1 stereo microphone can be used to re-
cord sound in stereo or to avoid recording lens noise dur-
ing autofocus. To reduce low-frequency noise, including

from FLAT to L-CUT. Note that noise from the switch may be
recorded if the control is operated during lming.

Third-party headphones can be attached via the headphone
connector so that you can check sound during lming. Note
that headphone and microphone settings can not be ad-
justed during shooting; before recording, check headphone
volume in the live view display (page 55) and adjust head-
phone volume and microphone sensitivity as necessary.
Microphone Sensitivity

Microphone sensitivity can be adjust-
ed before recording using the Movie

shooting menu. If sound levels can be
predicted, adjust sensitivity manually so
that peak volume does not exceed 12 db. Choose Auto if
sound levels can not be predicted in advance.
