As sound is being recorded, segments of the disk icon bounce up and back, serving as a level meter (similar to the levels commonly displayed on audio equipment like tape decks). The bouncing segments provide feedback, a visual indication that sound is being recorded. The best quality recording occurs when 4-5 segments are on.

No sound

Maximum

Sound files are loosely associated with the image taken before the sound was recorded. Do not record more than 99 sound files after each image. (More can be recorded — if there is space on the PCMCIA card — but only up to 99 can be played by the driver.)

Recording “Lengthy” Audio Segments

Approximately 25 seconds of uninterrupted sound can be recorded in a single file. If you press and hold the record button for over 25 seconds, a slightly different recording action will occur.

The first 25 seconds of audio fills all available dynamic random access memory. Recording then stops for up to several seconds — even though the button is still depressed — while the data in memory are moved to a new file on the PCMCIA card. Then recording begins again for another 25 seconds, after which this new segment of sound is moved to a new sound file on the PCMCIA card, and so on. Each 25 second segment is stored on the card as a separate file.
