During the AGC recording, the peak meter used to adjust the recording level () is displayed.

The upper meter shows the current input level. The white bar in the lower meter shows the optimum input level for recording.

Please adjust the orientation of the built-in microphones, the distance from the sound source, the sensitivity setting of the microphones, or the Scene Select setting so that the level is closer to -12 dB, which fits within the lower optimum range, as illustrated.

In manual recording, the level meter colors are reversed.

Recording sound using the built-in stereo microphones

The “L” and “R” meters show the current input level from the built-in stereo microphones.

Recording sound using the built-in zoom microphones

The “Z” meter shows the current input level from the built-in zoom microphone.

Hint

• If the input level is low, we recommend that you place the IC recorder nearer to the sound source or set the input sensitivity higher.
