Recording sound with still pictures
Sound can be recorded when taking still pictures. Recording starts about
0.5 seconds after the shutter is released and lasts about 4 seconds.
When this function is enabled, sound is recorded automatically every time
you take a picture.

playback, sound is output from the speaker. The volume can be adjusted.
• Sound can be added later to still pictures. Recorded sound can also be re-
recorded.
Note
• If the microphone is farther than 1 m (3.3 ft.) from the subject, sound may not
be recorded properly.
• Pictures cannot be taken during sound recording.
• Sound recording is not possible in the following cases:
When [DRIVE] is set to sequential shooting ([j]), or during panorama
shooting or 2 IN 1 shooting.

shutter movement, etc.

memory.
