For outdoor recording
The high-sensitivity 15 mm built-in
microphones enable easy and high-quality
outdoor recording.
You can also connect an external
microphone (not supplied) to the stereo mini
jack of the PCM-D100.
You can use the supplied wind screen to
reduce the noise caused by wind or breath.
The Pre-Recording feature allows you to
buffer sound sources for a maximum of
five seconds prior to the point when the
recording button is actually pressed (page
40).
The long battery life allows you to record for
approximately 8 hours with four LR6 (size
AA) alkaline batteries.
The supplied carrying case is ideal for
carrying the PCM-D100 outside. The recorder
can be attached to your belt with the belt
strap of the carrying case.
As a high-quality music player
The PCM-D100 supports digital recording
from an external device, allowing you to
preserve your music library as original digital
recordings.
You can exchange digital sound files
with your computer and external device.
This feature allows you to transfer digital
recording to your computer to save them,
or copy digital files from your computer to
play back on the PCM-D100 or transfer to an
external device for playback.
