Tommui987 actually now I think I know what you're talking about - the icon which looks like a speaker with a slash mark means that the beep sounds are turned off.  To turn sounds back on, go to "Silent Mode" in the tools menu and turn Silent Mode off.  But this has nothing to do with recording video.

I have a Panasonic ZS100, but I have never seen an icon for the microphone!

Wow I feel so lucky. I was on the Viking Elegant Elbe cruise one month ago and everything went without a glitch, other than boarding in Decin instead of Melnik (Czech Republic) because of the low water level. There was some rain before and during the first few days of our cruise, which put a slight damper on our shore excursions but must have definitely helped to raise the water level. Good luck to near future Elbe cruisers.
