• If you re-record the sound, the original sound is erased.
• You may not be able to record sound when there is insufficient card
memory (the CARD FULL message is displayed).
• Sound recording may pick up camera noises, such as button
operation or shutter movement.
• Once sound is added to a picture, it is not possible to erase only the
sound. In this case, make a re-recording with silence.
