Voice memo

Voice memo allows a fifteen second audio track to be recorded with a still image. The function is activated in the custom 2 section of the multi-function recording menu (p. 56). When the function is active, the microphone indicator is displayed on the data panel and LCD monitor. Voice memo must be set before taking a picture. It will remain in effect until reset.

After an image is captured, a screen will

appear indicating the audio recording has

 

 

started. A bar graph (1) will display the

 

 

amount of recorded time remaining. The

 

 

recording will automatically stop when the

 

 

set time has elapsed. To stop the recording

 

 

before the total time has elapsed, press

 

 

the central button of the controller (2).

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.
