- Interview recording
While you are recording mainly audio in an MD DATA2 disc, you can record up to
three photos. Those photos make one track together with the audio.
Interview recording is possible only with the MD DATA2 discs. You can record up to 4
hours and 20 minutes in a disc.
The index image of the interview recording has the icon.
(1) Unlock the mode lock and set the POWER switch to INTERVIEW while
pressing the small green button.
(2) Press AUDIO REC.
The AUDIO REC button lights up in red and recording starts. The recording
time passed is indicated by x which increases every 10 seconds. When x
reaches the right end, it starts over.

recorded photos appear to the right of the screen.
