Camera

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To collect all of voice from a photographer at an object position by starting sound recording operation at a specific time after the start of time counting through a timer which performs shutter releasing operation automatically. CONSTITUTION:When a shutter button is pressed in by a half stroke, 'motor-on signal' is inputted to a system controller 25, so a motor is started to enter a state wherein the specific mechanism of a camera carries out photography. Then when a timer button is pressed, 'timer-on signal' is inputted to the controller 25 and the timer 23 begins to count up a specific time, thereby turning on a light emitting display device 8. Its counting signal is sent as a sound collection signal to the controller 25 specific seconds later and the controller 25 outputs a driving signal to a recording and compressing circuit 20. Consequently, a voice signal collected by a microphone 6 is written in an unshown voice recording memory by the circuit 20. Then, while the voice begins to be inputted, the turn-on patterns of the display device 8 are changed at the intervals of, for example, one second.
