Specifications
Notes
• The above values are strictly rough guides.
• Variations in the available recording time will arise as there may be differences in the available memory
depending on the card.
• Caution is required, since the differences in the available recording time will increase when the bit count
and bit rate are low.
• Available recording time may be shorter if many short recordings are made (The displayed available
recording time and recorded time are approximate indications).
• The maximum capacity for a single file is limited to approx. 4 GB for WMA and MP3, and approx. 2 GB
for Linear PCM format (WAV).
• For WMA format files, the file length for a single file is limited to a maximum length of approx. 26 hours
and 40 minutes. For this reason, it will differ from the continuous recording time for a single file.
