150 Additional Information
[Microphone Attenuator]: Helps prevent audio distortions.
[O Automatic]: The camcorder will automatically activate the micro-
phone attenuator as necessary for optimal audio recording levels so high
audio levels will not be distorted.
[A On V]: The microphone attenuator will be activated at all times to
reproduce more faithfully the sound dynamics. V will appear on the
screen.
• This menu option is not available when the optional SM-V1 Surround
Microphone is attached to the camcorder. In that case, activate the
microphone attenuator with the [Surround Mic Attenuator] setting.

SM-V1 Surround Microphone.
[z Surround]: Records 5.1ch surround sound.

to the zoom position. The larger the subject appears on the screen, the
louder the sound will be as well.
[x Shotgun]: Records monaural audio with a highly directional setting
that is most sensitive to sound coming directly from the front of the cam-
corder/microphone.
[Surround Mic Attenuator]: Helps prevent audio distortions due to high
audio recording levels when the optional SM-V1 Surround Microphone is
attached to the camcorder. When set to [A On V], V will appear
on the screen.
[Onscreen Markers]: You can display a grid or a horizontal line at the cen-
ter of the screen. Use the markers as a reference to make sure your sub-
ject is framed correctly (vertically and/or horizontally).
• Using the onscreen markers will not affect the recordings.
