When the microphone senses that sound has reached a preset volume,
the built-in Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) starts recording
automatically, and stops it when the volume drops. Particularly helpful for
extended recording, the VCVA not only conserves memory by turning off
recording during silent periods, but also makes playback more efficient
and convenient.

15 levels.

• You can record at any time even if it is not within the specified recording duration. However, if that
