Estimated available recording time
(with internal 2GB memory)
* If you record multiple files, the total available recording
time will be shorter than those estimated above.
* The largest available recording space (for continuous
recording) per file is 2GB. If the recording file size
reaches 2GB, the PR7 will automatically continue record-
ing into a subsequent file (when using a microSDHC

ously if the recording exhausts the battery ( ➔ page 29).
