Patent number: 6418272Abstract: In an electronic camera capable of audio recording, easy file management is attained in case of preparing an audio file, corresponding to an image file. When a shutter button is depressed, a microcontroller causes an image recording subsystem to prepare an image file and store it in a memory device. Then audio information is entered from a microphone under the depression of a recording button, an audio recording subsystem prepares an audio file and stores it in the memory device, corresponding to the image file. Thereafter, the audio information is added to the audio file at each entry of the audio information under the depression of the recording button. Then the shutter button is depressed to prepare a new image file, and a new audio file is prepared in response to the subsequent entry of audio information. As a result, only one audio file is prepared corresponding to each image file.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 1998Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Teruyuki Higashiyama
