Default file name setting (Default file name)

When recording is made in the New File mode, a new file is created and a name is given automatically.

The “Default file name” menu selects the name form of an audio file when it is created between date information base and scene/take number information base.

On “Default file name” menu screen, you can select a desired file name mode, as well as specify the default file name (scene name and the take number).
