Recording Tips
When making audio recordings, be careful not to touch or
cover the microphone. The quality of the recording is propor-
tional to the subject to microphone distance. For best results,
hold the camera approximately 20cm (8in) from your mouth.
Voice memo allows a five or fifteen second audio track to be record-
ed with a still image. The function is activated and the length of the
recording time is set in the advanced 2 section of the recording-
mode menu (p. 80). When the function is active, the microphone icon
is displayed on the data panel and LCD monitor. Voice memo must
be set before taking a picture. It will remain in effect until reset.
After an image is captured, a screen will appear indicating the audio
recording has started. A bar graph (1) will display the amount of
recorded time. The recording will automatically stop when the set
time has elapsed. To cancel the recording and erase the audio track,
press the down key of the controller (2) or the shutter-release button
2
(3) before the recording has finished.
Voice memo is attached to the last image of a continuous-advance
or bracketing series (p. 58). Voice memo is disabled with the interval
drive mode. The voice memo can be played back in Quick View and
the playback mode (p. 34). Images with voice-memo audio tracks
have a note icon displayed with them.
