| Solution | You can have the camcorder optimize the audio settings of the built-in microphone by selecting the audio scene that matches your surroundings. This will greatly enhance the sense of "being there". Alternatively, you can select [Custom Setting] in order to adjust the camcorder's various audio settings to your liking. The procedure for setting audio scenes is explained below. 1. Set the power switch to <CAMERA>.
 2. Touch [  ].
 3.  Drag your finger up or down to choose  [Audio Scene].
 4. Touch the desired option and then touch [X].
 Options (  Default value)  Standard | To record most general situations. The camcorder records with standard settings. |  Music | To vibrantly record music performances and singing indoors. |  Speech | Best for recording human voices and dialog. |  Forest and Birds | To record birds and scenes in forests. The camcorder clearly captures sound as it spreads. |  Noise Suppression] | To record scenes while reducing noise from wind, passing vehicles and similar ambient sound. Ideal for recording at the beach or in places with a lot of noise. |  Custom Setting * | Allows you to adjust the audio settings to your liking. |
* The settings that you can adjust are the [Mic Level] setting in the [ ] panel and the following settings in the [  ]: [Built-in Mic Wind Screen], [Built-in Mic Att.], [Built-in Mic Freq. Response] (audio equalizer), and [Built-in Mic Directionality]. [Custom Setting] is not available in mode. After setting [Audio Scene] to [Custom Setting], if the camcorder is then set to mode, this setting will change to [Standard]. Settings for each audio scene
