Application guide
These basic settings are used for recording birdsongs or similar outdoor sounds. Since batteries are required 
for outdoor use, these settings take power conservation into account.

By lowering the sampling frequency (Rec Freq.) and 
limiting the number of tracks, you can minimize the 
size of the file to be written. These settings also re-
duce the number of time the hard disk is accessed, 
thereby conserving power.

Pre Recording
4 Sec
The pre-recording setting lets you press the record 
button when you hear birdsong; sounds that oc-
curred several seconds earlier is captured retroactive-
ly. When recording birdsong, four seconds is 
sufficient. In comparison to allowing recording to 
continue, this method minimizes the number of ac-
cesses to the internal hard disk. 
However, with any pre-recording setting other than 
OFF, recording always continues internally.
