Track incrementation

With this unit, the maximum recording file size is 2 GB.
If the file size reaches 2 GB while recording, the unit
automatically continues recording in a new take and stops
recording the current take.
Manually incrementing tracks during
recording
You can manually create a new take during recording at
any time.
Press the REC button during recording to create a new take
and continue recording.
NOTE
• When a new take is created, the number at the end of
the take name is increased by one.
• You should use a folder that contains as few takes as
possible when creating new takes while recording or
when expecting to do so.
• The maximum number of takes in a folder is about
100.
CAUTION
• If the total number of folders and files would exceed
5000, a new take cannot be created.
• If the total number of takes would exceed 1000, a new
take cannot be created.
• A new take cannot be created if the recording time is
less than 4 seconds.
• If the newly created take would have the same name
as an existing take, the numerical suffix is increased by
one as many times as necessary until a unique name
is created.

rupting the recording.

reaches 24 hours
CAUTION
• If the total number of folders and files would exceed
5000, a new take cannot be created.
• If the total number of takes would exceed 1000, a new
take cannot be created.

Recording times are different for the same file size
depending on the file format and recording mode.
