Voice Memos: Recording and Playback
Use the camera’s built-in microphone to record
voice memos for pictures marked with E in full-
frame playback (c26).

Recording Voice Memos

A voice memo, up to 20 seconds in
length, will be recorded while d is
pressed down.
Recording ends after about 20 seconds or
when d is released.
• Do not touch the built-in microphone
during recording.
• During recording, F and P blink in the monitor display.

Playing Voice Memos

Press d while a picture is displayed in
full-frame playback to play voice memo.
Playback ends when the voice memo
ends or d is pressed again.
• Pictures with voice memos can be rec-
ognized by the A:P and P icons.
• Use the zoom buttons to adjust play-
back volume. Press t (j) to lower volume, or v (k) to raise volume.

Deleting Voice Memos

Select a picture with a voice
memo and press T. Use the
rotary multi selector to
choose [P] and press d.
Only the voice memo will be
deleted.

• Voice memos are assigned the picture file name they are attached to with the three-letter
extension “.WAV” (e.g., DSCN0015.WAV) (c115).
• If a voice memo already exists for the current picture, it must be deleted before a new voice
memo can be recorded.
• The COOLPIX S500 may be not able to attach a voice memo to pictures recorded by other
cameras.
