Adding Sound to Pictures
Your camera has a built-in microphone that lets you add an
audio recording of up to 10 seconds to each photo. You can
record audio in any user mode. You can make a recording
immediately after shooting a photo, or add it later. (For
information about adding a recording when playing back
photos later, see page 6-6. For instructions on playing back
recordings with your camera, see page 6-7.)
NOTE
When taking photos, you can only record audio if the LCD screen
is turned on and the Confirmation setting is enabled, as described
here. Audio recordings take up memory on your CompactFlash
memory card and reduce the number of photos you can store.
Follow these steps to add a recording right after taking a
picture:
1
Make sure the confirmation screen is enabled, as
described on page 2-16.
2
Turn the camera dial to . Center the subject on the
LCD screen.
3
Press the shutter button halfway down to lock the auto
focus.
4
When the photo capture light stops flashing and you see
a green circle
on the screen, reframe your image if
you want, then press the shutter button the rest of the
way down.
