Voice Memo - Minolta Dimage X20 Instruction Manual

VOICE MEMO

Voice memo allows an audio track up to fifteen seconds long to be recorded with a still
image. The function is activated in the section 1 of the recording-mode menu (p. 48). 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.
After an image is captured, a screen
will appear indicating the audio record-
ing has started. A bar graph (1) will
display the amount of recording time
remaining. During the recording, the
indicator lamp glows. To stop the
recording, press the shutter-release
button or the center button of the con-
troller (2). The recording will automati-
cally stop when the fifteen-second limit
has elapsed.
Voice memo is attached to the last
image of a continuous-advance series
(p. 40). When played back, images
with voice-memo audio tracks have a
note icon displayed with them (p. 62).
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.
