You can also save time in post-production by using the onboard NORMALIZE function to automatically raise or lower the volume of your recording to the optimal level without compressing the audio. Price & Availability Serious videographers use timecode to perfectly synchronise audio and video. The M4’s built-in timecode generator provides professional accuracy of 0.2 ppm.

bit recording is an incredible format. In theory, it provides a far, far greater dynamic range than you’ll ever need, so peaking and digital ‘overs’ are a thing of the past — in fact, Zoom’s 32-bit products don’t even come with gain controls.
