CONVENIENT FEATURES
VARIABLE CONTROL VOICE ACTUATOR (VCVA) RECORDING
In order to improve performance in long recordings, this recorder is equipped with a voice activated
recording function (called VCVA by Olympus). This function helps save memory capacity and extends
recording time with very little loss of voice data at the moment of activation.
