Making a Voice Recording
Sound can not be recorded when less than ten seconds of recording time remain on the
memory card or the battery is exhausted. Before recording, record a test sample and
play it back to determine whether conditions are suitable for audio recording. During
recording, do not touch the built-in microphone.
Copying Voice Recordings to a Computer
Voice recordings can not be copied to a computer using Nikon View. Set the USB option
in the setup menu to Mass Storage (
58) and copy the fi les directly from the camera.
Once copied to a computer, voice recordings can be played back in QuickTime.
Sound Files
Voice recordings are stored in folders with names consisting of a three-digit folder
number followed by “SOUND” (e.g., “101SOUND”). File names consist of “DSCN”
followed by a four-digit fi le number (assigned by adding one to the largest fi le number
in the current folder) and the extension “.WAV” (e.g., “DSCN0001.WAV”).
Making a Voice Recording Without Extending the Lens
To make a voice recording without extending the lens, rotate the mode dial to before
turning the camera on.
Adding an Index
An index can be added by pressing the multi selector up, down, left, or right during
recording. The camera can locate the index during playback and begin playback from
this point. The start is assigned an index of one; other indices are assigned in ascending
order, to a maximum of 98. The current index number is shown in the monitor.
