Mic Sense A N

Microphone sensitivity is adjustable to meet recording needs.

[High]:

This is a highly sensitive mode which can record surrounding noises.

[Low]:

This is the standard level of microphone sensitivity. Select this mode for cases where the volume of the source sound is high, such as a band performance.

Note

•When you would like to clearly record a speaker’s voice, set [Mic Sense] to [Low] and hold recorder’s built-in stereo microphone close to the speaker’s mouth (5-10 cm) when recording.

Rec Mode A

The recorder supports the Linear PCM recording format, which allows sound to be recorded with a quality equivalent to CD or higher, and the MP3 format, which allows files to be saved with a high compression ratio. This means you can choose to give priority to either sound quality or recording time.

1Select the recording format.

[PCM]:

This is an uncompressed audio format which is used for music CDs and the like.

[MP3]:

MPEG is the international standard established by a working group of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization).

2Select the recording rate.

When [PCM] is selected:

[96 kHz/24 bit] to [44.1 kHz/16 bit]

When [MP3] is selected: [320 kbps] to [128 kbps]

Notes

•When the recording format is set to the MP3 formats, the sampling rate will be encoded and processed at 44.1 kHz.

•When a high recording rate setting is used the file capacity will increase. Make sure that the amount of memory remaining is sufficient before recording.

•When the recorder is in movie mode, the [Rec Mode] setting will not be affected. To set the recording mode, set the [Image Quality] setting in [Recording Settings] while in movie mode (☞ P.68).

Rec Level A N

You can set the device to automatically or manually adjust the recording level.

1Select [Manual] or [Auto].

[Manual]:

Recording is performed by manually adjusting the recording level.

[Auto]:

Recording is performed by automatically adjusting the recording level. This is useful for when you will be recording right away.

•If you select [Manual], proceed to the operation of step 2.

This function will adjust the input level when sudden high volume is encountered. This will prevent sound distortion.
