Nikon Coolpix 300 - Manual (Page 85)

71 Settings : Sound Recording Options
MODE 2
When the camera is in Mode 2 and the microphone is set to “On,” audio
data will be recorded while the record button is held down. The resulting
clip will be stored as a single item in the camera’s memory. To choose
Mode 2 as your recording method, select
MODE 2 from the sound-mode
menu and then touch the MENU key to return to main menu or the
ENTER key to return to the previous menu. Selecting CANCEL discards
any changes and returns you to the sound-mode menu.
Note: After the record button is released, there will be a short period
during which the camera will not be able to record further audio data.
Wait two or three seconds before beginning another recording.
MODE 3
When the camera is in Mode 3 and the microphone is set to “On,” the
camera will begin recording when the record button is pressed once and
continue until the record button is pressed a second time. This method
allows you to set the camera on a desk or table to make recordings, freeing
your hands for other work. Note, however, that seventeen minutes of
sound data are enough to fill all the camera’s memory; to save memory, be
sure to turn the recorder off when it is no longer needed.
To choose Mode 3 as your recording method, select MODE 3 from the
sound-mode menu and then touch the MENU key to return to main menu
or the ENTER key to return to the previous menu. Selecting CANCEL
discards any changes and returns you to the sound-mode menu.
