+ 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.
