Microphone
When making audio recordings, be careful not to touch or
cover the microphone.The quality of the recording is pro-
portional 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 con-
troller 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.
