Notes
• To ensure that you do not lose the beginning
of the recording, confirm that the recording is
activated by checking the recording/shooting
indicator or the mode indicator in the sub LCD.
• When remaining recording time is less than 60
seconds, the PEAK/LED indicator light starts
flashing. When the recording time is decreasing
to 30 or 10 seconds, the light flashes faster.
• [Folder Full] will appear when the recording
cannot be made any further. Select another
folder or delete any unnecessary files before
recording (
☞ P.58).
• [Memory Full] will appear when there is no
free space. Delete any unnecessary files before
recording any further (
☞ P.58).
• If the REC (
s) button is pressed when a function
other than the record function is specified,
[Cannot record in this folder] is displayed.
Select a folder from [Folder A] through [Folder
E] and start recording again.
• Depending on the sound recording mode and
the status of record media, the data transfer
to the media cannot be done in time during
recording and the skipped sound may be
recorded. In this case, [Data Write Error] will
appear during recording or when the recording
is finished. After transferring the data to the PC,
format the record media.

Achieving an optimal recording level:
• If the level meter reaches to the maximum
level or the PEAK/LED indicator light turns
on, the recording level is too high.
This will cause distortions and affect the
quality of the recording.
• The recording level should be adjusted so
that the level meter does not exceed [-6dB].
When the level meter is maxed out
(the recorded sounds will be distorted).
Example of conditions where the
recording level has been lowered and the
excess input has been adjusted.
