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) or in
the custom 2 section of the multi-function recording menu (p. 56). 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 central button of the controller (2) or
the shutter-release button (3) before the
recording has finished.
When used with the continuous-advance
or bracketing drive modes (p. 40) the audio
file is attached to the last frame of the
series.The voice memo can be played
back in Quick View or the playback mode
(p. 78). Images with voice-memo audio tracks have the audio-track indicator 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. For best results, hold the
camera approximately 20cm (8in) from your mouth.
