Audio

We have set audio to manual in the previous steps. Connect the microphone

using the XLR connections on the right hand side of the camera. Next set each

channel to be external or internal depending on your setup, using the switches

above the XLR inputs.

Next choose between a line input (e.g. from a wendt mixer etc), mic input (non

powered or with its own power source e.g. AA bettery) or mic & +48v phantom

power (where the camera provides power to the microphone).

Additional functions:

There XF305 has a few handy features that help you shoot good footage but

should not be relied upon, you should experiment with them first:

Peaking – This places coloured outlines around you subjects when

they are in focus.

Zebra – This is an indication of exposure & clipping depending on

the threshold set in the menu. We set the cameras to show zebra

at 90% exposure so when you see the black & white lines, you

know you are close to clipping but not quite.

Waveform Monitor – This is another exposure indicator.

Think of it as a graph, showing you black (dark areas) to white

(light areas) from the bottom to the top, and from left to right,

where the exposure value is placed in your shot.
