2-channel AAC audio recording and playback for MP4 clips. The sampling frequency is 48 kHz for all audio
recording modes. You can record audio using commercially available microphones (INPUT 1/INPUT 2 terminal,
MIC terminal), line input (INPUT 1/INPUT 2 terminal) or the built-in microphone.
The same audio channels that are being recorded in the camcorder can also be output with the video signal from

Audio Settings and Recorded Audio Channels
Which audio inputs are recorded to which audio channels is determined by a combination of menu settings,
audio-related controls on the camcorder and whether an external microphone is connected to the MIC terminal.
The following table gives an overview of the possible combinations.
For MXF clips, all the combinations listed are available. For MP4 clips, when the movie format is set to MP4 or to
MXF+MP4 using 2-channel audio recording, only the combinations marked as A are available. When the movie
format is set to MXF+MP4 using 4-channel audio recording, with the [¡ Audio Setup] > [Audio Input] >
