| Recording Rate | Choose an audio recording format. [96kHz/24bit]: High-quality audio. [48kHz/16bit]: Standard-quality audio. |
| cPlug-in Power | In most circumstances, there is no need to change this setting. If your external microphone does not require plug-in power, and supplying power causes noise to be recorded, set this to [Off]. [Off]: Does not supply power from the camera to the external microphone. [On]: Supplies power from the camera to the external microphone. |
| Camera Rec. Volume | This setting is only available when an external microphone is connected. When set to [Inoperative], the camera’s sound recording settings ([Recording Volume], [cVolume Limiter], [Wind Noise Reduction]) will be disabled. [Operative]: The camera’s sound recording settings are enabled. [Inoperative]: The camera’s sound recording settings are disabled. The sound input from the external microphone is recorded as is. |
Sound is not recorded:
- with high-speed or slow- or fast-motion movies or when ART 71/ART 72 (diorama) is selected for picture mode.
- Audio can only be played on devices that support the option selected for [Recording Rate].
Operation sounds of the lens and camera may be recorded in a movie.
To prevent it from recording, reduce the operation sounds by setting [nAF Mode] to [S-AF], [MF], or [PreJ], or by minimizing the button operations of the camera.
