An example of this function is to record "Say cheese" as the selftimer 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.

See the Software Starter Guide supplied with the camera for more information on creating and adding to the My Camera Settings files.
