3 Setting the Sound Recording
Wind filter : When [Enable] is set, it reduces the wind noise when 
recording outdoors. This feature takes effect only with 
the built-in microphone. Note that [ Enable] reduces 
low bass sounds, so set it to [ Disable] when there is 
no wind. It will record a more natural sound than with 
[Enable].
Attenuator : Automatically suppresses  sound distortion caused by 
loud noises. Even if [ Sound rec.] is set to [Auto] or 
[Manual ] before shooting, sound distortion may still 
result if there is a very loud sound. In such a case, 
setting it to [ Enable] is recommended.
Using a microphone
Normally, the built-in micro phone will record monaural sound.
Stereo sound recording is also possible by connecting the 
Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) to the 
camera’s external microphone IN terminal (p.27) as the external 
microphone is given the priority.
Wind Filter/Attenuator
 In the < A> mode, [ Sound recording ] can be set to [On ] or [Off]. If [On ] 
is set, the sound-recording level wi ll be adjusted automatically (same as 
with [ Auto]), but the wind filter function will not take effect.
 The sound volume balance between L (left) and R (right) cannot be 
adjusted.
 Audio is recorded at a 48 kHz/16-bit sampling rate.
 If [z 5: Silent Control] is set to [ Enable h ] (p.302), you can adjust the 
sound-recording level with the < h> touch pad with less operation noise 
during movie shooting. 
						

							302
You can change the settings of the ISO speed, sound-recording level, etc. without making too much noise while shooting a movie.
When [z5: Silent Control] is set to 
[Enable h ], you can use the touch pad 
< h > on the inner ring of the Quick 
Control Dial.
You can just touch the top, bottom, left, 
or right of < h> for silent operation.
During movie shooting, you can press 
the < Q> button to display the Quick 
Control screen and change the functions 
below with < h>.

If [z5: Silent Control] is set to [Enable  h], you cannot change Quick 
Control settings with the  Quick Control dial during movie shooting. Even if you change the aperture silently with < h>, the movie will still 
record the lens aperture-driving sound.
 If there is water or dirt on the < h>, the touch operation may not work. In 
such a case, use a clean cloth to clean the < h>. If it still does not work, 
wait a while and try again.
Before shooting a movie, you can use < h> with the [ Rec. level] setting to 
adjust the sound-recording level. 
						

							303
The time code is a time reference 
recorded automatically to synchronize 
the movie during movie shooting. It is 
recorded at all times in the following 
units: hours, minutes, seconds, and 
frames. It is mainly used during movie 
editing.
Use [z5: Time code ] (the [z3] tab in 
) to set the time code.
Rec run : The time code counts up only  while you are shooting a 
movie. The time code will c ontinue in the sequence of the 
movie files captured.
Free run : The time code counts up whether you are shooting a 
movie or not.
You can set the time code’s start time.
Manual input setting : You can freely set the hour, minute, second, 
and frames.
Reset : The time set with [Manual input setting ] and 
[Set to camera time ] is reset to “00:00:00.” or 
“00:00:00:” (p.305).
Set to camera time : Sets hours, minutes, and seconds to match the 
camera’s internal clock. “Frames” will be set to 
00.

With [Time code] set:
Regardless of the [ Movie rec count] setting, the time code will always 
be recorded to the movie file (except during time-lapse movie shooting).
 The [ Movie play count ] setting under [z5: Time code] switches in 
tandem with the [ x3: Movie play count ] setting. Changing either 
setting will automatically change the other.
 “Frames” are not displayed for movie shooting or during movie playback.

3 Setting the Time Code
If the frame rate setting is  6 (29.97 fps) or 8  (59.94 fps), the time 
code’s frame count causes a discrepancy between the actual time and 
time code. This discrepancy can  be corrected automatically. This 
correction function is called “drop frame.”
Enable : The discrepancy is corrected  automatically by skipping time 
code numbers (DF: Drop frame).
Disable : The discrepancy is not corrected (NDF: Non-drop frame).
The time code will be displayed as follows: Enable (DF) :  00:00:00. (Playback time: 00:00:00.00)
Disable (NDF) :  00:00:00: (Playback time: 00:00:00:00)
Drop Frame
If the frame rate is 4(23.98 fps), 5(25.00 fps), or 7(50.00 fps), drop 
frame is not used. (If 4 is set or if [5 3: Video system] is set to [For PAL], 
[Drop frame ] will not be displayed.) 
						

							306
Still photos shot at a set interval can be stitched together automatically 
to create a time-lapse movie. A time-lapse movie shows how a subject 
changes in a much shorter period of time than the actual time it took. It 
is effective for a fixed-point obs ervation of changing scenery, growing 
plants, celestial motion, etc.
Time-lapse movies are recorded in  L 6  W  (NTSC) or  L 5  
W  (PAL). The frame rate will be switched automatically according to 
the [53: Video system ] setting (p.467).

With time-lapse movie set to [ Enable], you cannot set [ z4: Movie rec. 
size ] and [ 53: Video system ].
 If the camera is connected to a computer or printer with the interface 
cable, or if an HDMI cable is connected to the camera, you cannot select 
[Enable ].
 The maximum ISO speed will be ISO 3200 in the < d>, < s>, < f >, 
and < F> modes, and < a> mode with Auto ISO set.
 Bulb exposure cannot be performed. If the shooting mode is < F>, the 
operation will be the same as the < d> mode.
 Movie Servo AF will not function.
 If the shutter speed is 1/30 sec. or slower, the exposure of the movie 
displayed may not reflect the exposure of the resulting movie.
 Do not zoom the lens during time -lapse movie shooting. Zooming the 
lens may cause the image to be out of focus, the exposure to change, 
and the lens aberration correction not to function properly.
 When shooting a time-lapse movie under a flickering light, noticeable 
image flickering, horizontal stripes (noise), or irregular exposures may be 
recorded.
 The image displayed during time-lapse movie shooting and the resulting 
movie may look different (in terms of flicker, depth of field, etc.).
 If you move the camera from left to right (panning) or shoot a moving 
subject while shooting a time-lapse movie, the image may look extremely 
distorted.
 During time-lapse movie shooting, auto power off will not operate. Also, 
you cannot adjust the shooting function and menu function settings, or 
play back images.
 Sound and time code are not recorded for time-lapse movies.
 Single shooting setting is applied  to time-lapse movie shooting 
regardless of the drive mode setting.
 The shooting function settings for  the first shot will be applied to 
subsequent shots.
 If a long exposure or shutter speed longer than the shooting interval is 
set, the camera cannot shoot with the set interval. Also, shooting may 
not be performed when the shutter speed and the shooting interval are 
nearly the same.
 If the next scheduled shot is not possible, it will be skipped. This may 
make the time-lapse movie’s recording time shorter.
