Taking Pictures 2-7

Hold the camera 4 to 6 inches (10.2 to 15.2 cm) away
and speak into the microphone. You can record a
message up to six seconds long. When the recording
time is up, the camera beeps twice.
After you record your message, the picture counter decreases
by one. The message is “attached” to the last picture taken.
Each message uses the same amount of memory as a high-
resolution picture and is stored as a .wav file.
If you don’t like the message you recorded, you can record a
new message by pressing the
VOICE
button again. PhotoPC
550 automatically records over the last message.
NOTE
You cannot erase a message only; you can only record over it. If
you press the ERASE button, you erase both the image and the
attached message.
If your camera is connected to your computer, you must use the
computer’s microphone to record messages. See “Connecting
the Camera” on page 3-2 and “Recording New Sounds” on
page 5-9.
