When the sound you want to focus on is muffled, distorted, or too far away to be heard, you can simply zoom in on the audio source via the camera, much like you would for a distant subject in a telephoto shooting. The omnidirectional microphones are then adjusted accordingly to focus on that specific sound and filter out ambient noise.
