First Steps : Making Your First Recording

The amount of memory available for making further recordings is shown

as a percentage next to the REMAINING MEMORY item. The number

next to SOUNDS indicates how many seconds of audio data could be

recorded were all the available memory used to store sound recordings.

PICTURES + SOUNDS gives the number of photographs that could be

made in combination with sound recordings if the camera were set to make

audio recordings automatically whenever the shutter was released (see

below for information on sound settings). If there is no memory available

when the camera is turned on, or if the camera runs out of memory while

making a recording, the camera will display a message warning you that

memory is full (see “Troubleshooting”). When this happens, you will need

to transfer the data in memory to a computer or delete all or some of the

stored items before you will be able to record more audio data.

Step 3 - Put the camera in recording mode

You will need to put the camera in recording mode to choose a sound

setting and record audio data. The camera enters recording mode

automatically ten seconds after having been turned on, or when you use the

stylus to select OK from the lower right corner of the status window (you

can also make the camera enter recording mode by selecting

RECORDING from the COOLPIX 300’s main menu). When the camera

is in recording mode, the READY lamp will glow steadily and the main

display window in the touch-panel will show the view through the lens.

Step 4 - Choose a sound setting

As the default setting for the COOLPIX 300’s audio recorder is “Off,” you

will need to change the sound settings before you will be able to record

sounds. Using the stylus, touch the hand icon ( ) at the lower left corner

of the main window of the touch panel display until the microphone icon

( ) is displayed in the settings list. Touch the microphone icon with

the stylus to make changes to the camera’s sound settings.
