VOICE MEMO

Voice memo allows a five or fifteen second audio track to be recorded with a still image. The function is activated and the length of the recording time is set on the auto-recording mode menu (p. 42). In multi-function recording mode, voice memo is controlled in the custom 2 section of the multi-function recording menu (p. 54). When the function is active, the microphone icon is displayed on the data panel and LCD monitor. The voice memo must be set before taking a picture. It will remain in effect until reset.

DATE IMPRINTING

 

The date of recording can be printed directly on the image.

 

The imprinting function must be activated before the image is

until the function is reset; a yellow bar is displayed behind the

 

frame counter on the monitor to indicate date imprinting is

 

active.

The voice memo is attached to the last frame in a continuous-advance or bracketing series (p. 32). The voice memo can be played back in Quick View or in the playback mode (p. 70). Images with voice-memo audio tracks have a note icon
