Voice operating shutter and voice data informing device

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To eliminate camera blurring and improve photographing speed, recording capacity, safety and operation efficiency by operating a shutter by voice instruction and hearing information on photographing. CONSTITUTION:A microphone 2 that converts voice to electric signal is incorporated on the bottom etc. of a camera 1 body. Voice pattern of vowels of voice instruction 18 is analysed by a voice recognizing device 6 and stored in LSI3. When the same instruction 18 is given in photograhing, the LSI3 lets flow current 23 to a shutter circuit 4 immediately whenever the LSI recognizes it as the same voice pattern and operate the shutter mechanism 5. On the other hand, voice that records each item of photographing information 17 is converted to digital signal and stored in a memory 8, LSI3. When primary current 23 flows in the shutter circuit 4 in a state that the shutter dial 20 of the camera is set to AUTO and linked with AE mechanism, a microprocessor 11 immediately detects proper item of information 17 such as aperture, shutter speed, warning of over and under-exposure etc. converts it to analog in a form close to voice and reproduces it by a speaker 13.
