increases file size. Check that you have
enough remaining memory before
recording.

clearly, it is recommended to set [Rec
Mode] to other than [mono].

recording with a connected mono
microphone records on the left channel
only.

microphone provides directivity ranging from
broad-coverage stereo recording to highly
directional recording.

Press the

button to adjust
the built-in stereo microphone’s
directivity.

the sound pickup range gives
recordings more of a stereo effect.

between [–3] and [+6].
