Shoe Audio Set.

movie, slow&quick motion

Sets the digital audio transmitted from a microphone (sold separately) that supports the digital audio interface and is attached to the Multi-Interface Shoe of the camera.

By using an external microphone that supports 96 kHz or 32-bit float, you can record audio with high quality, or record audio in the WAV format as a separate file (when the camera’s system software (firmware) is Ver.2.00 or later).

This function cannot be used during slow-motion/quick-motion recording and time-lapse movie recording.

Menu item details

Shoe Audio Format:
Sets the sampling frequency and quantization bit rate for digital audio. ([96kHz/32bit float]/[96kHz/24bit]/[48kHz/32bit float]/[48kHz/24bit]/[48kHz/16bit])
  • You cannot set a sampling frequency or quantization bit rate that is not supported by the attached microphone.
Shoe Audio Ch No.:
Sets the number of digital audio channels. ([4ch ]/[2ch])
  • You cannot set [4ch ] if a microphone that does not support 4-channel recording is attached.
32bit float WAV Rec.:
Sets whether to record audio in the 32-bit float WAV format separately from the audio data of the movie file. ([On]/[Off])
  • You cannot set [On] if a microphone that does not support 32-bit float audio recording is attached.


On 32-bit float WAV files

  • The sampling frequency and the number of channels for the WAV file will be the same as the settings in [Shoe Audio Format]/[Shoe Audio Ch No.].
  • WAV files cannot be played back on the camera. When playing back on the camera, the audio recorded in the movie file will be played.
  • When you delete a movie file, the WAV file recorded simultaneously is also deleted.
  • WAV files cannot be transferred using FTP transfer or smartphone transfer functions.

Hint

  • The audio level display on the monitor is for 4 channels during 4-channel audio recording.
  • Auto gain control is disabled when recording in 32-bit float. This may cause the level meter to display over-levels, but as long as analog clipping is not occurring, you can apply gain adjustments in post-production.
  • If a large audio input is applied that would cause analog clipping during 32-bit float recording, a notification will be sent from the compatible accessory. Use the accessory within a range that does not cause a notification. For the specifications of compatible accessories, refer to the instruction manual of the accessory.

Note

  • When an external microphone (sold separately) is connected to the (microphone) terminal of the camera, the audio is recorded from the external microphone attached to the (microphone) terminal. You cannot set [Shoe Audio Set.].
  • If the attached microphone is set to analog transmission, you cannot set [Shoe Audio Set.].
  • Audio cannot be recorded correctly in the following situations during movie recording:
    • When you attach or remove the microphone
    • When digital transmission is switched to analog transmission or vice versa on the microphone side
