Hi Carol,

The LS-7 is supposedly very similar to the LS-10 (which you and I both have).

Assuming that the enquirer wishes to record birdsong, then I would say that the on-board mics are just adequate, but certainly need proper windshielding, more than just the foam covers provided.

I would be using something like high sensitivity volume 5, and if that did not pick up the sound properly then you need to be closer to the bird. Any higher levels and there is too much hiss. Best to record in WAV format.

For top quality recordings an add-on mic is the way to go.

cheers,

Vicki
