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.

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 cancel the recording and erase the audio track, press the down key of the controller (2) or the shutter-release button (3) before the recording has finished.

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 displayed with them.

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.
