Using the recording menu ( REC MENU)
REC MODE
You can change the sound quality for
microphone recording or line-in recording.
This allows you to provide the best sound
quality for the particular purpose.
PCM
MP3
• PCM uses non-compression in recording of
all audio data while MP3 uses compression
in recording. If you increase the sound
quality, this will also increase the data size,
thus reducing the possible recording time.
Therefore, consider whether sound quality
or possible recording time should take
priority, and then select the appropriate
recording mode.
