First Steps : Making Your First Recording
Step 5 - Make a recording
Once you have enabled the audio recorder by selecting
ON
from the menu
above, touch the
ENTER
key to return to recording mode. Before making
a recording, confirm that the READY lamp is lit. To make a recording in
Mode 2, press and hold the record button. The recording lamp will glow
and a flashing microphone icon (
) will appear at the top of the main
window in the touch-panel display while audio data are being recorded
through the camera’s built-in microphone.
Note:
The camera’s built-in microphone does not record well at a
distance. When recording someone speaking in a ordinary tone of voice,
hold the camera about 15 cm (6˝) from their mouth and point the
microphone towards them. You should not, however, move the camera
when you are taking photographs. If you make a photograph with the
sound recorder on, wait until the READY lamp glows steadily before
moving the camera to a better position for recording.
When you have finished making your recording, release the record button.
Note:
If you press and release the record button quickly, a recording may
not be made.
