time. Select the recording mode that best
matches your recording application.

TIP
• The [Rec Mode] screen shows
the highest sound quality order,
beginning from the top.
• Setting a higher recording rate
increases file size. Check that you
have enough remaining memory
before recording.
• To record conferences and
presentations clearly, it is
recommended to set [Rec Mode]
setting to [MP3 128kbps] or
above.
NOTE
• When [Rec Mode] is set to stereo,
recording with a connected mono
microphone records on the left channel
only.
Selecting microphone directivity
[Zoom Mic]
The voice recorder’s built-in stereo
microphone provides directivity ranging from
broad-coverage stereo recording to highly
directional recording.
1 Press the
2 or 3 button to adjust
the directionality of the built-in
stereo microphone.
• 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.
• You can adjust the range between [–3]
and [+6].
