Turn the mode dial to the audio-recording position (1); a blue
screen is displayed. In stand-by, the monitor and data panel
show the approximate recording time available. Above the data
panel frame counter (2), the unit of the remaining time is dis-
played: M - minute, S - second.
To begin recording, press and release the shutter button (3).
The frame counter will display the remaining recording time.
The recording will stop when the shutter-release button is
pressed again or the remaining time has elapsed.
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.
Audio can be recorded without an image. About
30 minutes of audio can be stored on a 16MB
memory card. Audio is recorded at approximately
8KB/s. A maximum of 180 minutes can be
recorded at one time; the optional AC adapter is
required for long recordings.
