Recording time chart
The recording time available (Hours:Minutes:Seconds) on a CF card depends on the size of the card in mega-
bytes (MB), the recording type (PCM, MP2 or MP3), mono or stereo, bit rate, sample rate, and byte size (8, 16, or
24). This recording time chart lists approximate recording times based on those factors.
All times are approximate.
