Recording Sound
Note:
You can record up to 45 seconds of
sound per image or sequence of images.
You can record sound to attach to your images when your camera is in Capture mode and has
Instant Review set on (see the previous section). During the Instant Review period, the camera records
the sound and then attaches it to either the One Shot image, to the
final
image of a Continuous
sequence, or to the
first
image of a Timelapse sequence that you just captured. The sound recording
capability remains active during the entire Instant Review period.
Note:
The microphone is located on the front of
the camera. So if you are recording your own
voice, you may get better sound quality by
rotating the camera around to face you.
You can also record sound in the Playback or Review modes to attach to images. (See the second
Note on the left for more information.)
Once you have captured an image or sequence of images in Capture mode and the Instant Review is
displayed on the image LCD, do the following to record sound that will be attached to the image:

Do any of the following:
Press the left (Play) soft key to play back the sound recorded.
Note:
You can also record sound to attach to a
One Shot image, any of the images in a
Continuous sequence, or to the first image in a
Timelapse sequence of images after the Instant
Review period has finished. To do so, you must
set the camera to either Playback
or Review
mode. Then select an image or sequence
of images in the Playback or Review mode and
follow steps 1-4 (to the right on this page) to
record sound that will be attached to the
selected image or sequence of images.
Press the middle (Delete) soft key to delete either the image(s) and the sound, or to delete
the sound only.
Press the right (Exit) soft key to
immediately
save the image(s) and the attached sound to
the memory card.
Do nothing and allow the Instant Review to time out. In this case, the image(s) and the
attached sound are automatically saved to the memory card.
