Step-by-Step Shooting Guide
Record and Monitor Audio:
1) Plug-in a Microphone or two.
Remember, the camera can record 2
separate “channels” of audio, which can be
adjusted independently in editing.
It makes sense to record on both channels,
even if you think you might not need both.
2) SettheLINE/MICswitchforeachchannel
you’reusing.SettoMICforanydirectly
connected microphone, and LINE for
anythingthat’snotamicrophone.
3) Turn ON the “+48V” to provide power to
some types of mics that would otherwise
need a battery (eg - lapel or shotgun)
Select Camera or External Mic:
OpentheLCDviewndertorevealthe
switches beneath:
4) Set the “CH1 SELECT” switch to INT(L)
to record the built-in mic on Channel 1,
ortoINPUT1orINPUT2foranexternal
connection.
Repeat for the “CH2 SELECT” switch.
5) To let the Camera adjust the volume of
sound being recorded automatically, set
theCH1AUTO/MANUALswitchtothe
AUTOposition.RepeatforCH2ifdesired.
OR
For Manual control of the sound level, set
theswitchestoMANU,andseePage7.
Monitor the Sound:
6) Opentherubberap,andplug-in
headphones to listen to the sound.
MetroEast will provide headphones with
your camera for you to use, or you can
bring your own pair.
7) Adjustthevolumeoftheheadphonestoa
comfortable setting with the buttons on the
face of the camera. The “-” button lowers
the volume, and the “+” raises it.
