Voice memo allows up to fifteen seconds of audio to be
recorded with a still image. The function is activated in
section 2 of the recording menu (p. 80) and is used in
unison with instant playback. When the function is active,
the microphone indicator is displayed on the monitors.
Voice memo must be set before taking a picture. It will
remain in effect until reset.

or by pressing the center button of the controller.

Microphone
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.
During instant playback, if the central button of the
controller is pressed, the image is saved and the voice-
memo recording starts. If the shutter-release button is
pressed partway down, the image is saved and the voice-
memo recording is canceled.
