About the output channels
When using a camera that is capable of 4-channel recording in combination with this unit, recording with channel 3 and channel 4 is available by changing the output channel setting to 4 channels on the camera.
Regardless of the directivity mode dial setting on this unit, sounds are recorded as follows:
-
Channel 3: Omni-directional
-
Channel 4: Omni-directional (-20 dB)
Use this feature to record ambient and other sounds in addition to sounds from the sound source of which directivity is specified on this unit.
A -20 dB gain correction is automatically applied to the audio on channel 4.*
* A gain correction is not for preventing clipping noise from occurring during loud audio recording.
