Orientation based microphone selection apparatus

An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer code, the at least one memory and the computer code configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to at least:

• recording video and capturing sound with a device comprising a plurality of microphones and at least one video recorder, wherein capturing sound comprises capturing sound while the device is used in a first orientation using the plurality of microphones;
• and
• in response to a positional change of the device from the first orientation to a second orientation, differently capturing sound in the second orientation using fewer microphones of the device than the plurality of microphones used to capture sound in the first orientation,
• wherein the captured sound comprises audio based on the first and second orientations that respectively use of the plurality of microphones and the fewer microphones.

Physical media having computer software stored therein, the computer software configured, upon execution, to:

• record video and capture sound with a device comprising a plurality of microphones and at least one video recorder, wherein the sound is captured by capturing sound while the device is used in a first orientation using the plurality of microphones;
• and
• in response to a positional change of the device from the first orientation to a second orientation, differently capture sound in the second orientation using fewer microphones of the device than the plurality of microphones used to capture sound in the first orientation,
• wherein the captured sound comprises audio based on the first and second orientations that respectively use of the plurality of microphones and the fewer microphones.
