*1 For long-term continuous recording, a USB AC adaptor (not supplied) is required.
For details on the battery life, see Battery life.
*2 The maximum recording time in this topic indicates an estimation and may vary depending on the specifications of the memory card.
*3 Recording scenes associated with the recording mode by default
*4 When “LPCM 96kHz/24bit” is selected, you cannot store a recording directly onto the microSD card. Store it on the built-in memory first, and then copy or move the file.
