To remove the external microphone, etc., from the audio input terminals 1, 2 
(XLR 3 pin)
Remove while pushing on the PUSH section of the audio 
input terminals 1, 2 (XLR 3 pin).
≥Set the input signal to built-in microphone by switching 
the CH1, CH2 switches to INT (L) or INT (R) after 
removing the external microphone. Audio will not be 
recorded when motion picture is recorded without 
switching.
≥Set INPUT1, 2 (+48V) switches to LINE or MIC if you connect equ ipment not compatible
