Nikon Coolpix 300 - Manual (Page 51)

37 First Steps : Making Your First Recording
The following menu will appear in the touch-panel display.
Select ON to enable the audio recorder. The COOLPIX 300 allows you to
choose any one of three recording modes. Choosing Mode 1 links the
camera’s microphone to the shutter release button, causing the camera to
make a recording of a fixed duration whenever you take a photograph (for
details on setting the length of the recording time in Mode 1, see
“Settings”). Selecting Mode 2 sets the camera to record sounds only while
the record button is pressed. In Mode 3, the camera will start recording
audio data when the record button is pressed once and continue until the
button is pressed a second time. The explanation that follows assumes that
the default setting, Mode 2, has been selected. For more information on
using the audio recorder, refer to the “Settings” chapter.
