Using the built-in microphone
This unit's built-in microphones can be adjusted, allowing
the angles of the microphones to be changed. You can
choose clear stereo sound or wide stereo sound according
to the recording source, situation, etc. by opening or
closing the microphone pair.
Setting the mics to record a wide stereo
sound (A-B position)
Spread the stereo microphone to the left and right. (A-B
position)
Set this way, the two microphones are spread widely left
and right, and recording is possible with a strong stereo
field that is good for music, for example.
If you open or close the microphone pair while using the
built-in stereo microphone and the left-right channels does
not suit the angle of the microphone, a pop-up message
appears to ask whether you want to swap the left-right
channels of the microphone.
CAUTION
Set the left-right channels of the built-in microphone to
L-R.
When you are using the built-in microphone and the
setting is not L-R,
appears on the Home screen.
Setting the mics to record a clear stereo
sound (X-Y position)
Close the stereo microphone. (X-Y position)
Set this way, the microphone pair is close, and recording is
possible with a clear stereo field with less phase difference.
If you open or close the microphone pair while using the
built-in stereo microphone and the left-right channels does
not suit the angle of the microphone, a pop-up message
appears to ask whether you want to swap the left-right
channels of the microphone.
CAUTION
Set the left-right channels of the built-in microphone to
R-L.
When you are using the built-in microphone and the
setting is not R-L,
appears on the Home screen.
