VOICE MEMO

Voice memo allows up to fifteen seconds of audio to be recorded with a still image. The function is activated in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 80) and is used in unison with instant playback. When the function is active, the microphone indicator is displayed on the monitors. Voice memo must be set before taking a picture. It will remain in effect until reset.

After the instant playback period, a screen will appear indicating the audio recording has started. A status bar will display the amount of recorded time. The recording will stop when the fifteen second recording period has ended or by pressing the center button of the controller.

A voice memo is attached to the last image of a continuous-advance or continuous-advance bracketing series (p. 61). The voice memo can be played back in Quick View and the playback mode (p. 115).

Recording Tips

 

When making audio recordings, be careful not to touch or

 

cover the microphone. The quality of the recording is

 

proportional to the subject to microphone distance. For

 

best results, hold the camera approximately 20cm (8in)

 

from your mouth.

 

During instant playback, if the central button of the

 

controller is pressed, the image is saved and the voice-

 

memo recording starts. If the shutter-release button is

 

pressed partway down, the image is saved and the voice-

 

memo recording is canceled.
