available recording time is less than estimated above.
* The largest available recording space (for continuous recording) in one file is 2GB.
■ About the ALC (Auto Level Control) function

■ Microphone sensitivity

You can set the microphone sensitivity level to high or low to accommodate the recording environment.
If the recorded audio level is too low or too high, change the microphone sensitivity setting.
Setting the microphone sensitivity
Press the [MENU/FOLDER] button while the main screen is displayed, select [REC MENU] → [MIC SENS], then
select [HIGH] or [LOW]. If the volume level is too low, select [HIGH]. If the volume level is too high, set [MIC
SENS] to [LOW].
■ Recording peak limiter
When the recording peak limiter is set to ON, the recorder reduces sound distortion by automatically adjust-
ing excessive peaks. It is recommended that you set the limiter to ON when you record audio.
Setting the recording peak limiter
Press the [MENU/FOLDER] button while the main screen is displayed, select [REC MENU] → [REC LIMITER],
then select [ON]. The peak limiter is available only when the ALC function is set to OFF.

The recording dynamics will be adjusted. Louder sounds
will be quieter and softer sounds will be louder. This setting
will reduce distortion and is better for recording dictation.
