Playing Voice Recording

You can play a voice memo you added during shooting, or a sound file recorded using Voice recording function by COOLPIX.
Image with voice memo
An image is identified as an image with a voice memo if ViewNX-i finds a voice memo file of the same file name as the image file (except for file extensions). If you have renamed an image file with Explorer (Finder in Mac OS) or etc., you can newly set the same file name (except for the extension) for both the image and voice memo files so that ViewNX-i will identify that the image contains the voice memo.
With some Nikon digital cameras, file names of images and their voice memos may differ. However, ViewNX-i handles these files as images with voice memos.
  1. Select an image having a voice memo or a voice recording file (WAV).
  1. Locate the cursor on [Voice Memo] in the [File] menu, and select [Play].
    The sound file is played. If you select multiple images having voice memos and/or voice recording files, you cannot play them.
Playback using on the Toolbar
You can customize the Toolbar and display on it. In this case, you can play back a voice recording file by selecting the file and clicking . To customize the Toolbar, locate the cursor on the bar and right -click the mouse button (or hold down the "Control" key and click in Mac OS), then check [Voice Memo] in [Customize].
