<Memo>
BWF: BWF stands for "Broadcast Wave Format" and is a standard audio format created
by the EBU (European Broadcasting Union). You can exchange BWF audio data between
computers and audio workstations.
MP3: MP3 stands for "MPEG-1 Audio Layer3" and is a compressed audio format. The
compression ratio of MP3 is relatively high. For example, an audio data which requires
500MB when it is recorded in the BWF format can be compressed to 70MB when it is
recorded in the MP3 format.
* For the recording time on a card after formatting, see page 54.
