Press	the	SHTR/F.RATE	dial	to	set	VFR	
mode	to	ON.		
VFR	mode	switches	between	ON/OFF	each	
time	the	SHTR/F.RATE	dial	is	pressed.

The FRAME RATE is set by turning the 
SHUTR/F.RATE dial. 
•	If
	no 	operation 	is 	performed 	for 	approximately	
10	seconds,	the	frame	rate	indicator	
illuminates	and	the	dial	returns	to	a	locked	
state.
•	 The	FRAME	RATE	mode	can	be	set	using	
FRAME	RATE	on	the	setting	menu	SCENE	
FILE	screen.
Use	1080i	or	720P
	for	the	frame	rate	function.
However,	when	1080i	is	selected	with	DVCPRO	
HD	recording,	you	cannot	record	unless	
CAMERA 	MODE	is	set	to	60i	(50i).

Using another microphone and audio 
equipment
1 Connect an external microphone or audio 
equipment to the AUDIO INPUT 1/2 (XLR, 
3 pin) terminal. (Page 101)
2 Use the INPUT 1/2 switch to switch the 
audio input.
LINE: 
(audio	equipment	is	connected)
Input	level	is	0	dBu.
MIC:  (another	microphone	is	connected)
Input	level	is	–	50	dBu.
You 	can 	change 	the 	input 	level 	to 	– 	40 	dBu 	or	
–	60	dBu	in	the	setup	menus,	RECORDING	
SETUP 	screen	MIC	GAIN1	and	MIC	GAIN2.	
(Page	144)	
Be	aware	that	sensitivity	will	be	higher	if	you	
choose	–	60	dBu	so	you	will	record	more	
noise.
•	 When	using	an	
AG-MC200G	(optional),	set	
MIC	GAIN	to	–	50	dBu.
When using the phantom microphone
Set	the	INPUT 	1/2	switch	(MIC	POWER	
+48	V)	to	ON.
ON:  (When	using	the	phantom	microphone)	
+48V 	power 	supply 	to 	INPUT 	1/2 	terminal.
OFF: (When	a	phantom	microphone	is	not
connected)
No	power	supply	for	INPUT 	1/2	terminal.
•	 The	battery	will	discharge	faster	if	you	
use	a	phantom	microphone.
•	 Set	to	OFF	if	you	connect	equipment	not	
compatible	with	+48V.	
You	can	damage	
such	equipment	if	you	leave	the	setting	at	
ON.
3  Select the input signal to be recorded on 
the tracks of audio channels 1 to 4.
•	Select	the	input	to	be	recorded	on	CH1	and	
CH3	with	the	
AUDIO	CH1	SELECT 	switch,	
and	select	the	input	to	be	recorded	on	CH2	
and 	CH4 	with 	the 	AUDIO 	CH2 	SELECT 	switch.	
(Page	52)
•	 When	signals	from	an	external	microphone	
are	to	be	input	to	CH1	and	CH2,	connect	the	
external	microphone	to	the	
AUDIO	INPUT	2	
terminal, 	and 	switch 	both 	AUDIO 	CH1 	SELECT 	
and	 AUDIO	CH2	SELECT 	to	INPUT	2.
Adjusting the audio recording level 
automatically
AUDIO AUTO/MANU CH1, 
CH2 switch
Set the AUDIO AUTO/MANU CH1 or CH2 switch 
to AUTO position.
Adjust	the	audio	signal	recording	level	input	
through	the	built-in	microphone	and	the	 AUDIO	
INPUT1/2	terminals	(XLR,	3	pin)	automatically.
•	 CH1/CH2	can	be	set	separately.
•	 When
	AUTO 	is 	set, 	the 	recording 	level 	adjustment	
using	the	 AUDIO	LEVEL 	knob	and	the	setting	
in	the	LIMITER	CH1/LIMITER	CH2	item	of	the	
setup 	menu 	AUDIO 	SETUP 	screen 	(Page 	143) 	are	
disabled.
Since	the	audio	signal	recording	level	is	
adjusted	automatically,	the	zoom	operation	
sound	may	be	recorded	if	zooming	quickly,	
depending	on	the	environment.	In	that	case,	
adjust	the	audio	recording	level	in	manual	
mode.

Adjusting the recording level
AUDIO LEVEL knob (CH1, CH2)
AUDIO AUTO/MANU CH1, 
CH2 switch
Use	the 	AUDIO 	LEVEL 	knob 	to 	adjust 	the 	recording	
level	of	the	built-in	microphone	or	of	audio	signals	
input	through	the	 AUDIO	INPUT	1/2	(XLR,	3	pin)	
terminal.
•	 To	adjust	the	volume	of	the	sound	for	monitoring,	
see	“Adjusting	the	volume	while	shooting”	(Page	
40).	
To	adjust	the	recording	levels	for	 Audio	Channels	1	
and	2,	follow	the	steps	below.
1  Set AUDIO OUT on the setting menu AUDIO 
SETUP screen to CH1/CH2 and confirm that 
the display is 1, 2, so that the audio level 
meter display indicates CH1, CH2. 
2 Position the AUDIO AUTO/MANU CH1, CH2 
switch at MANU.
Switching audio input (continued)
3 While checking the audio channel level 
meter in the display window or the audio 
level meter in the viewfinder, adjust the 
AUDIO LEVEL (CH1, CH2) control.
•	Note	that	if	the	level	exceeds	the	top	bar	
(0	dB),	the	word	OVER	illuminates	to	show	
that	the	input	level	is	excessive.	
Adjust	so	
that	maximum	sound	levels	do	not	reach	the	
0	dB	bar.

•	Running the menu option MENU INIT in the OTHER FUNCTIONS screen returns all current 
operating status values and saved camera-recorder values in the F1 to F6 scene files as well as 
in the user file to their factory defaults. This function does not return the TIMEZONE setting to 
its factory default. 
•	 SCENE FILE and USER FILE settings cannot be operated when recordings can be compiled to 
a previous clip in one-clip recording mode (i.e., when “1
CLIP” is displayed). After closing the 
menu, push the Operation lever in the ▼ direction (STOP) for approximately 2 seconds, and try 
once more after ending clip linking.
