A new file will be created automatically without pausing recording when the file size reaches 4 GB. (Track incrementing)
To record at the optimal volume, in addition to adjusting the mic orientation and distance from the sound source, change the recording level settings. (see “Setting the recording level”)
Monitoring input sound when recording or stopped is possible with this unit.
The effects of the recording level, low-cut filter, limiter and other functions can be checked.
The settings of each function can be set individually from the Menu Screen. For details, see “Recording settings”.
To adjust the volume when monitoring, press the PHONES +/– buttons to adjust the level output from the headphone jack. For details, see “Adjusting the headphone output volume”.
Recorded data is saved as audio files on the microSD card. Files are named according to the following rules.
|
|
|
Example with factory default settings |
Characters set by user
Characters set by the user are added to the file name.
TIP
When recording a TV drama or play, for example, setting user characters to the individual names of each performer can make identification easier when managing files and editing.
The factory default setting is “DATE” (6-digit date).
See “Characters set by user” for procedures to change settings.
File number
The order recorded is added to the file name.
The factory default setting is “0001”.
See “Setting the file number” for procedures to change settings.
File format
