been recorded. Total recording time per picture is approximately 4 seconds.

• The BUSY bar is displayed during recording.
• If the microphone is placed farther than 1m (3.3ft) away from the subject, the
recorded sound quality may not be satisfying.
Note
• 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.
