Hi there, new to this site and it's nice to see so many informed people posting here to help with everyday problems. I have been taking photo's for many years with good top end cameras, I have switched to digital a few years agao and just bought a Olympus C-730 UZ, I see it has a few handy features and some I may never use. Can anyone tell me how and or why to properly use a audio recording with a still image ? If this just to remind you what the image was so you can make notes ? It puzzles me, but then it doesn't take much some days.
Thanks, in advance............Pioneer

Many people record notes about the things they take pictures of. Audio notes would make life easier in some cases.

I'm doing quite a lot of photography for a garden center and with film I need to take fairly detailed notes of the shots I've taken - what they were off, weather conditions, camera settings, date/ time etc.

I take these on digital and get the EXIF data with most of the info, but still need to manually annotate a lot of the other information. Audio capture would help a lot.

I also take advantage of digital and shoot the index cards that are stuck in the ground as a visual record of the species, but it doesn't capture all of the other info I need ( e.g., lighting technique)

When I do that with my camera, it stores the images in MPEG format. That's the same format as if I use movie mode on my camera. Might be handy if you are running a slide show of some sort. Mostly, I think it's just a feature that's there because after adding a movie mode, it didn't cost anything else to make a "move" with just one still image, and it's one more thing on the product brochure.
