Abstract
An image capture apparatus connects to a sound collection apparatus configured to collect sound data in different directions, generates stereophonic data based on sound data obtained from the sound collection apparatus, and corrects the stereophonic data based on a difference between a shooting direction of the image capture apparatus and a sound collecting direction of the sound collection apparatus.
Claims16
An image capture apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor which functions as:
- a connection unit that connects to a sound collection apparatus configured to collect sound data in different directions;
- a sound processing unit that generates stereophonic data based on sound data obtained from the sound collection apparatus;
