[Focused] recording function
The [Focused] recording function intensifies sounds from the direction in which the built-in microphones point by minimizing other sounds from the left and the right of your IC recorder. This function is suitable for recording lectures and seminars held in a large hall as well as for recording interviews because it achieves high directivity and allows you to focus on recording what you are aiming at.
Selecting [Lecture] for the Scene Select function turns on the [Focused] recording function.
[Wide] recording function
The [Wide] recording function controls the sound panning between left and right to minimize voice overlapping and add more stereo feelings. This function is suitable for note taking from recordings of meetings because it gives you a better idea of where meeting participants are seated and who is speaking.
