2Hold the camera 4 to 6 inches (10.2 to 15.2 cm) away and speak into the microphone. You can record a message up to six seconds long. When the recording time is up, the camera beeps twice.
After you record your message, the picture counter decreases by one. The message is “attached” to the last picture taken. Each message uses the same amount of memory as a high- resolution picture and is stored as a .wav file.
If you don’t like the message you recorded, you can record a new message by pressing the VOICE button again. PhotoPC 550 automatically records over the last message.
NOTE
You cannot erase a message only; you can only record over it. If you press the ERASE button, you erase both the image and the attached message.
If your camera is connected to your computer, you must use the computer’s microphone to record messages. See “Connecting the Camera” on page
