Abstract
A digital camera comprises a CCD, sample-and-hold circuit, analog to digital converter, color processing circuit, microphone, voice processing section, flash memory in which voices input from the microphone are arbitrarily added to still images and the still image data with the voice data is recorded, a key input section which selects an arbitrary still image among the still images recorded in the flash memory, and a CPU which discriminates whether or not voices are added to selected still-images. A message for alarming is displayed on a display section when the voices are added to the images.
Claims20
An image recording device comprising:
- a memory which stores image data;
- an instruction unit configured to issue an instruction at an arbitrary timing such that voice data is related to the image data stored in the memory;
- a discrimination unit configured to discriminate whether voice data has already been related to the image data when the instruction is issued;
- and
- a notifying unit configured to notify that the voice data has already been related to the image data when it is discriminated that the voice data has already been related to the image data.
A digital camera, comprising:
- an image pickup unit which obtains image data;
- a memory which stores the image data obtained by the image pickup unit;
- an instruction unit configured to issue an instruction at an arbitrary timing such that voice data is related to the image data stored in the memory;
- a discrimination unit configured to discriminate whether voice data has already been related to the image data when the instruction is issued;
- and
- a notifying unit configured to notify that the voice data has already been related to the image data when it is discriminated that the voice data has already been related to the image data.
An image recording method, comprising:
- giving an instruction at arbitrary timing such that voice data is related to image data which has been stored in a memory,
- discriminating whether voice data has already been related to the image data when the instruction is issued;
- and
- notifying that the voice data has already been related to the image data when it is discriminated that the voice data has already been related to the image data.
