About the mode switch (ECM-W3)
Before you start video recording with the camera, select a receiver mode with the mode switch.
SEP mode
Makes recordings with audio from either of the two microphones individually as the left or right channel audio.
The audio from the microphone No. 1 is output to the left channel; and the audio from the microphone No. 2 is output
to the right channel.
When a single microphone is used for sound pickup, the audio is output as follows:
When only the microphone No. 1 is in use: The audio is output only to the left channel; and no audio is output to
the right channel.
When only the microphone No. 2 is in use: The audio is output only to the right channel; and no audio is output to
the left channel.
Hint
On the nameplate under the clip of the microphone, you will find either the number “1” or “2” indicated for microphone
identification. The number “1” indicates the microphone No. 1; and the number “2” indicates the microphone No. 2. Use this
number to distinguish the microphone No. 1 and the microphone No. 2.
MIX mode
Makes recordings with mixed audio from the two microphones.
