Press the +/– button to adjust
the built-in stereo microphone's
directivity.
• The + button increases directivity.
• The – button enables recordings with
broader-coverage stereo.
• Reducing directivity and broadening
the sound pickup range gives
recordings more of a stereo effect.
• The setting can be adjusted to
between [–3] and [+6].
