Configuration Zoom F3 (2 Viewers)

[Avetarda]

Some time ago I read a file on the forum with the configuration recommendations for the zoom f3, but I can't find it. Does anyone have it? Or if not, some recommendations to configure the recorder?

There are not many settings for the sound, so I set anything I can to preserve batteries:

• sampling rate as low as possible, say max 48kHz or even 44.1kHz instead of highest (not useful for normal sound frequencies)
• make sure to record only 1 channel mono if only 1 mic
• check the microphones to see if phantom power is rated for 24V instead of 48V that should save a lot of energy
• I find pre recording very useful, but if not needed better disable it
• backlight off or 1 min in the dark
• I'm not using headphones, but if playback is needed select headphones with low impedance...

I'm also using plastic plugs for the empty USB and 3.5mm to prevent bugs and water to get inside...
