The PRE REC (pre-recording) function

comes in handy when you do not want to miss
the beginning of a sudden recording event,
such as an interview or an outdoor recording.

The standby for recording mode is

Note
• If you use the built-in microphones for recording
with the PRE REC function, noises may be recorded
when you press the
 REC PAUSE button. We
recommend that you use an external microphone or
REC Remote for recording with the PRE REC function.
• If you stop pre-recording before step 5, the buffered
in the linear PCM recorder’s memory during the pre-
recording period will be cleared.
Hint
To cancel the PRE REC function, select “OFF” in step 3.
