The default setting sets the routing to the Left and Right channels.
Post-fade-listen – Headphones monitor the sound output after adjustment of the fader. What you
hear is what is being monitored.
Pre-fade listen – Headphones monitor the sound output before adjustment of the fader. This is not
affected by the fader option, what you hear is not what is being monitored.
Using the menu dial, you can select the squares and click on them to activate them. Clicking again
changes the pre-fader to a post-fader.
Naming files
The Zoom F4 allows you to name files before you record them and organise your files after they have
been recorded.
The first two options on the main menu deal with these operations.
• FINDER is for playback - navigating and playing already recorded files.
• METADATA (Next take) is for recording - naming files.
The METADATA (Next take) menu
The default file naming convention is date (yy mm dd), so if you make a recording on 12 Sept. 2020 it
is named 200912.
There are 2 more options; these are folder, which uses the folder name and then names files in
numerical order based on this, and User Scene Name, which allows you to specifically label a file, for
example Scene 1 actor A.
You can make a User Scene Name which may make it easier to find your files.
To do this press
• MENU
• METADATA (next take)
• Scene
• Name mode
• User Name
• Press Menu once to exit the submenu
• Then press User Scene Name
• Edit
• Enter name
The naming interface is tedious, the
character input screen consists of a
matrix of letters that you have to select
individually by using the menu dial
• The character input screen
defaults to upper case letters
• If you want to change the case, go
to abc at the bottom left. If you
want to use numbers, press abc
twice
