Shutter FX
When the shutter is released, a shutter sound effect will
give a positive confirmation of the operation. The sound
effect can be turn off in the custom 1 section of the setup
menu (p. 98). Three shutter effects are available; signal 1 is
mechanical, signal 2 is electrical, and custom for a person-
alized effect. The mechanical shutter sound was taken from
the legendary Minolta CLE, a compact rangefinder that rep-
resents the pinnacle of the development of the Leitz-Minolta
CL.

Remaining recording time
Microphone
During the recording, hold the camera’s microphone approxi-
mately 20cm (8in) from your mouth. Up to five seconds of
audio can be recorded. The remaining recording time is indi-
cated by a status bar and the frame counter on the moni-
tor. The recording will end when the shutter-release button
is pressed again or recording time has elapsed.
The length of the recording will affect the performance of the
camera. The longer the recorded sound effect, the longer the
delay between image capture. This can have a significant affect
on the continuous-advance frame rate.
