Zoom H5 Menus, Settings & Levels

Today we go in to setting up the Zoom H5 Menus, Settings & Levels for filmmakers and video production.

Video edit: I removed the section on L/R backup recording. I explained it incorrectly as it only works on the attached mic module, not the XLR inputs.
info on this option can be found in the zoom H5 manual on page 32

Backup recording: L/R input only (with 44.1/48kHz WAV only)
NOTE
• If the name of the original file is, for example,
“ZOOM0001_TrLR.wav”, the name of the backup file will
be “ZOOM0001_TrLR_BU.wav”.
• A backup file will not be created if the L/R input is not
selected.
• The LO CUT and COMP/LIMITER settings will not affect
the backup recording.
• To play a backup recording file, select and play the file
with "_BU" added to the end of the file name. (For MULTI
FILE mode, see step 12 ĺ P. 35. For STEREO FILE
mode, seeĺ P. 40.)

Oh. My. God. Your video is the only video that is detailed and you talk about what each thing does and how it works-- what it is for etc. I haven't seen any other YouTube video giving this much information for newbies like myself. I just subscribed! I really appreciate you for you time into this subject. Really helpful! Thank you again :)

I finally decided to upgrade my audio for voice overs. Your video is the best i have seen so far. Thank you.

[MattiasHandley]

Just bought an H5. Your video was of great help explaining things!

[enochpage]

I’m going to invest in doing voice-overs. I’ve looked at other kinds of audio interfaces but prefer this one for its recording capacities. Amazing detail with clear and instructional information. Thank you!

[pamelasue]

Thank you so much for this. I have been going batshot crazy trying to figure this thing out. Now after watching you and setting it up with you teaching me step by step I got it set up and working. I appreciate you so much.

[CaptSureshSharma]

Excellent video. You were to the point and excellent. I wish you could show the display close up of H5. May be it will be good to view on PC or laptop.
