File Format of My Camera Settings
My Camera settings should conform to the below file formats. 
However, CF card images shot with this camera can be registered 
as My Camera settings regardless of the below formats.
zStart-up Image
z Start-up Sound, Operation Sound, Selftimer Sound 
and Shutter Sound
Any file format other than those described above cannot be used with this 
camera.
An example of this function is to record “Say cheese” as a self-timer 
sound so the camera will replay this sound 2 seconds before the 
photo is taken. You could also record cheerful music to bring out the 
natural smiles of your subjects, or so they can strike a pose fitting 
the music. In these ways you can customize your camera by 
creating and adding new My Camera settings. • Recording image format JPEG (Base line JPEG)
• Sampling rate 4:2:0 or 4:2:2
• Image size 320 x 240 pixels
• File size 20 KB or less
• Recording format WAVE (monaural)
• Quantization bit 8 bit
• Sampling frequency 11.025 kHz and 8.000 kHz
• Recording time
11.025 kHz 8.000 kHz
Start-up Sound 1.0 sec. or less 1.3 sec. or less
Operation Sound 0.3 sec. or less 0.4 sec. or less
Selftimer Sound 2.0 sec. or less 2.0 sec. or less
Shutter Sound 0.3 sec. or less 0.4 sec. or less
