An example of this function is to record "Say Cheese" as a self-timer sound so the camera will play back 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 supplied Software Starter Guide for more information on creating and adding to the My Camera data. 120
