# Selecting audio input and adjusting recording levels

The camera supports independent 4-channel sound recording in all recording formats (HD, SD).

When the <AUDIO SELECT CH1/3>/<AUDIO SELECT CH2/4> switch is set to <AUTO>, the recording level of audio channels 1/2 (3/4 according to the main menu → [I/F SETUP] → [MIC/AUDIO] → [VR SELECT]) is automatically adjusted. The recording level can also be manually adjusted by the <AUDIO LEVEL CH1/3>/<AUDIO LEVEL CH2/4> dials or <F.AUDIO LEVEL> dial when the switch is set towards <MANU>. You can select whether to adjust the recording level of audio channels 3/4 (1/2 according to [MIC/AUDIO] → [VR SELECT]) automatically or manually in [MIC/AUDIO] → [AUTO LVL CH3(CH1)] and [AUTO LVL CH4(CH2)] (adjusted by [MIC/AUDIO] → [LVL CONTROL CH3(CH1)] and [LVL CONTROL CH4(CH2)]).

- On the camera, you can select whether to adjust the audio level of channels 1/2 or channels 3/4 by the <AUDIO LEVEL CH1/3>/<AUDIO LEVEL CH2/4> dial. As the factory setting, the audio of channels 1/2 is set to be adjusted by the level adjustment dial.

- With HD cards, too, four audio channels are recorded to P2 cards.

- When SDI input signals are recorded, the settings made here are disabled, and audio signals from the <SDI IN> terminal are recorded at all times.
