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 2 section of the recording-mode menu (p. 38). When the function is active, the microphone indicator 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. 30), it will automatically activate for the voice-memo period.

After an image is captured, a screen will appear indi-

 

cating the audio recording has started. A bar graph

2

(1) will display the amount of recording time remain-

ing. To stop the recording, press the shutter-release

button or the center button of the controller (2). The recording will automatically stop when the fifteen-second limit has elapsed.

Voice memo is attached to the last image of a continuous-advance series (p. 41). When played back, images with voice-memo audio tracks have a note icon displayed with them (p. 60).

Camera Notes

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.
