Microphone sensitivity is adjustable to meet
recording needs.
Menu setting method
[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.
1 Select 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).
2 Select the recording rate.
When [PCM] is selected:
[96 kHz/24 bit] to [44.1 kHz/16 bit]
When [MP3] is selected:
[320 kbps] or [256 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.71).
By default, [Mic Sense] is initially set
to [Low], and [Rec Level] to [Manual]/
[Limiter ON]. To achieve higher quality
recordings, it's necessary to adjust the
recording level manually.
For details, check
☞ P.35-36, P.68.
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.
