Using Convenient Functions while Recording
To monitor the recording
When recording from the built-in microphone, you connect an ear receiver
supplied or not supplied to the i (headphones) jack and monitor the
recording from the connected ear receiver. You can adjust the volume with
VOL +/, but the recording level is fixed.
Note
If you turn up the volume excessively or place the ear receiver near the
microphone while monitoring recording, the microphone may pick up the
sound from the ear receiver, causing acoustic feedback (howling sound).
Starting recording automatically in response to the sound
Advanced VOR function
You can set the VOR (voice operated recording) function in the menu.
With VOR set to ON, recording starts when the recorder detects sound,
and VOR appears in the display window. The recording pauses when
no sound is detected, and VOR PAUSE appears. You can change the
VOR setting with the menu during recording (page 52).
Note
VOR function is affected by the sound around you. Set the SENS (page 52)
according to the recording conditions. If recording is not satisfactory after you
have changed the microphone sensitivity, or for important recording, set the
VOR to OFF.
