Microphone Modes
You can change the microphone mode based on the recording
environment.
From the main menu, select Setup > Microphone.
Spatial: Records spatial audio using all four
microphones. Spatial audio records 360-degree, location-
specific sound. While playing the video using a compatible
player, the audio perspective follows the video perspective
when you view different parts of the video sphere. Spatial
audio is especially effective when viewing a video using a
virtual reality headset. Spatial audio recording is not available
when you are using the Front Only or Rear Only lens modes.
Rear Only: Records mono audio using only the rear
microphone. This can help to reduce wind noise.
Off: Turns off all internal and external microphones, and records
video without audio.
