5 /7 : For areas where the TV format is PAL (Europe, Russia, 
China, Australia, etc.).
4 : Mainly for motion pictures.
  Compression method
X IPB : Compresses multiple frames at a time 
efficiently for recording. Since the file size will

 Using the microphone
The built-in microphone records mo naural sound. Stereo sound 
recording is possible by connecting an external stereo microphone 
(commercially-available) equipped with a miniature stereo plug (3.5 
mm) to the camera’s external  microphone IN terminal (p.19). When 
an external microphone is connect ed, sound recording will switch 
automatically to the external microphone.
  Using headphones
By connecting stereo headphones (commercially available)  
equipped with a 3.5 mm mini plug to the camera’s headphone 
terminal (p.19), you can listen to the sound during movie shooting. If 
you are using an external stereo microphone, you can listen to the 
sound in stereo.
You can also use headphones during movie playback.
The audio output to the headphones will not have noise re duction applied. It 
will therefore be different from  the sound recorded with the movie.
 In the  shooting mode, [Sound recording] settings will be [On/Off]. 
If [On] is set, the sound-recording level will be adjusted automatically 
(same as with [Auto]) and the wind filter function will take effect. To adjust the headphones’ volume, press the  button, then tilt the 
multi-controller up or down while pressing the  button. Note that 
the headphone’s volume will not be displayed on the screen. Adjust it 
while listening to the sound.
  The sound volume balance between L  (left) and R (right) cannot be 
adjusted.

R.

sound-recording level with the < h> touch pad to reduce the operation 
noise during movie shooting.
