Voice memo allows a five or fifteen second audio track to be recorded with a still image. The function
is activated and the length of the recording time is set on the auto-recording mode menu (p. 38). In
multi-function recording mode, voice memo is controlled in the Custom 2 section of the multi-function
recording menu (p. 50). When the function is active, the microphone icon is displayed on the data
panel and LCD monitor. The voice memo must be set before taking a picture. It will remain in effect
until reset.
After an image is captured, a screen will
appear indicating the audio recording has
started. A bar graph (1) will display the
amount of recorded time remaining. The
recording will automatically stop when the
set time has elapsed. To cancel the
recording and erase the audio track, press
the down key of the controller (2) or the
shutter-release button (3) before the
recording has finished.
Voice memo can be used with all drive
modes. When using continuous advance or
bracketing, the audio file is attached to the
last image in the series. The voice memo
cannot be played back in quick view; it can
only be heard in the playback mode (p.
68). Images with voice-memo audio tracks
have a note icon displayed with them.

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; the closer to the micro-
phone the better the sound recording. For best results, hold the camera approximately
20 cm (8in) from your mouth.
