Built-in microphone options

  1. A button (press and hold)
  2. 1 video recording menu

Configure the settings for the OZO Audio function of the built-in microphone. Using OZO Audio allows you to set the audio directivity (direction of sound collection) of the built-in microphone. Select from five sound collection directions to suit the range in which you want to collect sound, including [Stereo (binaural)], which can record three-dimensional, immersive audio.

  • OZO Audio uses Nokia technology.
  • [Built-in microphone options] can be selected when the following combinations of [Video file type] and [Frame size/frame rate] are selected in the video recording menu.

  • When [Built-in microphone options] is unavailable, audio recording will be in the normal stereo format.

Audio control (OZO Audio)

Select [ON] to record audio with the built-in microphone using OZO Audio. When [OFF] is selected, audio recording will be in the normal stereo format.

 

Audio directivity

Select the direction of audio collection of the built-in microphone for using OZO Audio.

OptionDirectionalityDescription
[Front (Super directional)]Sound in front of the camera is captured and enhanced at a high volume.
  • This setting is suitable for emphasizing the audio of a narration or interview in self-portrait mode, or for recording the audio of distant subjects.
  • [Front (Super directional)] enhances and captures sound within a narrower range than [Front]. [Front (Super directional)] captures sound from the same source at a higher volume than [Front].
  • The captured audio is recorded at the same volume on the left (1) and right (2) channels.
[Front]
[All directions]Captures sound all around the camera in 360° (front, back, left, and right).
  • This setting is suitable for capturing the photographer’s narration while also recording audio of the subject.
  • The captured audio is recorded at the same volume on the left (1) and right (2) channels.
[Rear]Sound from behind the camera is captured and enhanced at a high volume.
  • This setting is suitable for emphasizing narration from the photographer.
  • The captured audio is recorded at the same volume on the left (1) and right (2) channels.
[Stereo (binaural)]Records sound all around the camera in 360° using 3D audio technology. This allows for an immersive stereo experience when using headphones during playback.
  • This setting is suitable for capturing the ambient sounds that create the ambiance of the shooting location.
  • The captured audio is recorded divided between the left (1) and right (2) channels based on the location of sounds in relation to the camera.

Self-portrait mode oriented

When [Front] is selected, the audio directivity will be automatically set to [Front] in self-portrait mode.

Cautions: Built-in microphone

  • When [Audio directivity] is set to [Front (Super directional)], [Front] or [Rear], the sound will be enhanced in the direction from which it is collected, so sound from the same source will be picked up at a higher volume than if it were captured with [All directions] or [Stereo (binaural)].
  • Even when [Audio control (OZO Audio)] is set to [ON], the OZO Audio process will not be applied to the following audio.
    • HDMI output
    • USB streaming (UVC/UAC)
    • Audio output to headphones
    • Voice memo
  • If [Audio control (OZO Audio)] was set to [ON], the sound level indicator will reflect the sound level prior to processing by OZO Audio.
