			Sound	Amount of card
			quality	memory consumed
S-HIGH	:	48 kHz	High	Large
HIGH	:	44.1 kHz
STANDARD	:	32 kHz
LONG1	:	22.05 kHz
LONG2	:	16 kHz

ANNOUNCE : 8 kHz Small

STANDARD is best for ordinary recording. ANNOUNCE uses up the least card space, and is best for recording announcements, narration, and the like. When you are recording audio such as a narration with ANNOUNCE or LONG2, you can record with higher clarity by using the equalizer to cut the bass range. Select an RDAC grade that matches the circumstances of use.
