Recording Audio

Selecting the Audio Input from the XLR Terminals

Using the XLR terminals CH1 and CH2, you can record audio independently to the two audio channels from a

microphone or analog audio input source. Note that the camera’s MIC terminal is given priority over the XLR

terminals. To record audio from the XLR terminals, be sure not to connect any microphones to the MIC terminal.

Switching Between Microphone and Line Input

Set the XLR terminal switch of the desired channel to LINE or MIC.

• To supply a microphone with phantom power, set the switch to

MIC+48V instead. Make sure to connect the microphone first, before

turning the phantom power on. Keep the microphone connected

when turning off the phantom power.

• When using the XLR terminal to record to only one channel, use the

CH1 terminal.

Selecting the Recording Channel

You can select to which channel the camera will record audio.

1 Open the [XLR Rec Channel] submenu.

[¡ Audio Setup] > [Audio Input] > [XLR Rec Channel]

2 Select the desired option and then press SET.

Options

IMPORTANT

• When connecting a microphone or device that does not support phantom power, make sure to set the XLR

terminal switch to MIC or LINE, respectively. If you set the switch to MIC+48V, the microphone or device may

be damaged.

[CH1]: Records audio to each channel separately. Audio input

into CH1 is recorded to channel 1, while audio input into

CH2 is recorded to channel 2.

[CH1/CH2]: Audio input into CH1 is recorded to both channels. Audio

input into CH2 will not be recorded.
