Sound Files

Voice recordings are stored in folders with names consisting of a three-digit folder number fol- lowed by “SOUND” (e.g., “101SOUND”). File names consist of “DSCN” followed by a four-digit file number (assigned by adding one to the largest file number in the current folder) and the exten- sion “.WAV” (e.g., “DSCN0001.WAV”).

Copying Voice Recordings to a Computer

Voice recordings can not be copied to a computer using PictureProject. Set the USB option in the SET-UP menu Interface to Mass Storage (Q52) and copy the files directly from the cam- era. Once copied to a computer, voice recordings can be played back with a player that sup- ports WAV format files (such as QuickTime). Indexes added during recording work only when playing back on the camera.

Making a Voice Recording

Sound can not be recorded when less than ten seconds of recording time remain in the memory or on the memory card, or the battery is exhausted. Before recording, record a test sample and play it back to determine whether conditions are suitable for audio recording. During recording, do not touch the built-in microphone. Use an EH-62B AC adapter for extended periods of use.

Adding an Index

More on Photography

An index can be added by pressing the multi selector up, down, left or right during recording. The camera can locate the index during playback and begin playback from this point. The start is assigned an index of one; other indices are assigned in ascending order, to a maximum of 99. The current index number is shown in the monitor.
