As a guideline, adjust the audio recording level so that the audio level meter will go to the right of the -12 dB mark (yellow area) only occasionally.

When [Audio Mix] is set to [On], two audio level indicators will appear; the top one ([INT]) for the built-in microphone, and the bottom one ([EXT]) for the external audio.

Caution

When the audio level meter reaches the red point (0 dB), the sound may be distorted.
We recommend using headphones to check the sound level while adjusting the audio recording level or when the microphone attenuator is activated.
If you set [Custom Key/Dial] to [Mic. Level], you can adjust the microphone's audio recording level with the CUSTOM dial.
