Voice Memo - Minolta Dimage Dimage Xi Instruction Manual

Voice memo

Voice memo allows an audio track up to fifteen second to be recorded with a still image.
The function is activated in the custom section of the recording-mode menu (p. 28). When
the function is active, the white microphone icon is displayed on the LCD monitor. The
voice memo must be set before taking a picture. It will remain in effect until reset. When
the LCD monitor is turned off (p. 52), it will automatically activate for the voice-memo
period.
After an image is captured, a screen will appear
indicating the audio recording has started. A bar
graph (1) will display the amount of recording
time remaining. To stop the recording, press the
shutter-release button or enter button (2). The
recording will automatically stop when the
fifteen-second limit has elapsed.
Voice memo is attached to the last image of a
continuous-advance series (p. 31). When played
back, images with voice-memo audio tracks
have a note icon displayed with them (p. 55).
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.
