RECORDING MODE

Instant playback

After a still image is captured, it can be displayed on the monitor for two seconds before being saved. Instant playback shows the last frame in the series when used with the continuous- advance drive mode (p. 31). When the LCD monitor is turned off (p. 52), it will automatically activate for the instant playback period.

Instant playback can be activated in the custom section of the recording-mode menu (p. 28). When used with voice memo, the audio recording will begin after the image is played back.

Camera notes

Images can be previewed immediately after they have been captured regardless if instant playback is active or not. Simply continue to hold down the shutter- release button after taking the picture to display the image on the monitor. Release the shutter button to end the playback. This function is disabled if the monitor is turned off or the continuous advance, movie, or the self-timer drive mode is used.

Voice memo

Voice memo allows an audio track up to fifteen second to be recorded with a still image. The function is activated in the custom section of the recording- mode menu (p. 28). When the function is active, the white microphone icon is displayed on the LCD monitor. The voice memo must be set before taking a picture. It will remain in effect until reset. When the LCD monitor is turned off (p. 52), it will automatically activate for the voice-memo period.
