z Tips
• -48 dBu is set as 0dB in your camcorder.
• The recommended setting for INPUT TRIM
depends on the microphone (sold separately)
you use (p. 20).
• The INPUT TRIM function adjusts the input
level from an external microphone. When using
a highly sensitive microphone or recording loud
sound, set this to the minus side. When using a
less sensitive microphone or recording quiet
sound, set it to the plus side.
• Distortion when recording loud sound may
result at the input point, or at the recording
point. If it is distorted at the input point, adjust
the sound using the INPUT TRIM function. If it
is distorted at the recording point, lower the total
volume level manually.
• If you set INPUT TRIM too far to the minus
side, the microphone volume becomes too low,
resulting in a poor signal to noise ratio.
• Test the effect of [XLR SET] according to the
microphone used or the sound field of the
recording site before actual recording.
