• For low microphone sensitivity setting,
suggest recording distance of about 5 in.
(13 cm). For high microphone sensitivity
setting, suggest recording distance of about
3.3 feet (1 m). When in auto microphone
sensitivity setting, you can obtain the best
recording result within a larger distance
range (around 5 in.–3.3 ft. since the recorder
automatically adjusts the recording
sensitivity for different distances.
• If the recorder does not detect sound for
about 2 seconds during recording, the
recorder stops, and
REC
and
