This isn&#8217;t a problem as you wouldn&#8217;t want to record anything important&#8211; such as dialog&#8211; at such low levels anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Anything louder than 0dB means that the audio is too loud and will result in distortion. <strong>Clipped audio is completely unusable<\/strong>, so you should avoid audio that crosses this limit at all costs.<\/p>\n<h2>Meters: Block by Block<\/h2>\n<p>As audio levels increase, the GH4&#8217;s audio meters light up block-by-block from left to right. Here are the levels that each block represents:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>No Blocks:<\/strong> -30dB and lower<\/li>\n<li><strong>Block 1:<\/strong> -30dB to -26dB<\/li>\n<li><strong>Block 2:<\/strong> -26dB to -23.5dB<\/li>\n<li><strong>Block 3:<\/strong> -23.5dB to -17dB<\/li>\n<li><strong>Block 4:<\/strong> -17dB to -14dB<\/li>\n<li><strong>Block 5:<\/strong> -14dB to -9dB<\/li>\n<li><strong>Block 6:<\/strong> -9dB to -5dB<\/li>\n<li><strong>Block 7:<\/strong> -5dB to -1.5dB<\/li>\n<li><strong>Block 8:<\/strong> -1.5dB to 0dB<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Set Your Target Levels<\/h2>\n<p>In general, audio levels should average around -20dB, with peaks at -12dB. This provides a good signal-to-noise ratio, while also maintaining headroom from the clipping limit.<\/p>\n<p>Using the GH4&#8217;s audio meters, <strong>target block 4 for general audio<\/strong>. -20dB falls within block 3 on the meters, but levels in this block could also result in lower levels than desired, so targeting block 4 is recommended for most situations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_004_Average-levels-at-Block-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-4257\" src=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_004_Average-levels-at-Block-4-693x455.jpg\" alt=\"Average levels at Block 4\" width=\"693\" height=\"455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_004_Average-levels-at-Block-4-693x455.jpg 693w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_004_Average-levels-at-Block-4-336x220.jpg 336w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_004_Average-levels-at-Block-4-930x611.jpg 930w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_004_Average-levels-at-Block-4-607x399.jpg 607w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_004_Average-levels-at-Block-4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, <strong>audio peaks should not exceed block 5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_002_Peaks-at-block-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-4255\" src=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_002_Peaks-at-block-5-693x455.jpg\" alt=\"Peaks at block 5\" width=\"693\" height=\"455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_002_Peaks-at-block-5-693x455.jpg 693w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_002_Peaks-at-block-5-336x220.jpg 336w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_002_Peaks-at-block-5-930x611.jpg 930w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_002_Peaks-at-block-5-607x399.jpg 607w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_002_Peaks-at-block-5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Finally, activate the GH4&#8217;s limiter for an additional layer of protection against clipped audio in the event of unexpectedly loud sounds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_006_Activate-the-GH4s-limiter.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-4259\" src=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_006_Activate-the-GH4s-limiter-693x509.jpg\" alt=\"Activate the GH4's limiter\" width=\"693\" height=\"509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_006_Activate-the-GH4s-limiter-693x509.jpg 693w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_006_Activate-the-GH4s-limiter-336x246.jpg 336w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_006_Activate-the-GH4s-limiter-930x683.jpg 930w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_006_Activate-the-GH4s-limiter-607x446.jpg 607w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_006_Activate-the-GH4s-limiter-280x205.jpg 280w, https:\/\/suggestionofmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Panasonic_GH4_Audio-Meters_006_Activate-the-GH4s-limiter.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Get Great Audio with the Panasonic GH4<\/h2>\n<p>Recording solid in-camera audio for your projects is possible with the Panasonic GH4, especially now that you know how to read the audio meters and where your levels should be on the meters.<\/p>\n<p>Future guides in this series will cover <em>how<\/em> to calibrate your audio equipment with the GH4 and maintain proper audio levels.
