Setting the recording quality

Before starting recording, set the audio file format.
In addition to choosing stereo or monaural, set
the audio file format to PCM or MP3 to suit your
purposes, including whether you want to prioritize
sound quality or recording time.
NOTE
• PCM formats allow recording at higher quality
than MP3 formats.
• MP3 formats allow recording for a longer time
than PCM formats.
4 – Recording
• With MP3 formats, higher bit-rates allow better
recording quality.
• For information about recording times, see
"Recording formats and times" on page 58.
