Abstract: An information processing apparatus provides improved expressive capability during presentations. Image, sound, memo information and other related input data that are recorded in an electronic camera are set to be reproduced in a predetermined order. When reproducing information that is set, images are displayed on a liquid crystal display that is part of an electronic camera and, in addition, similar images can be displayed on a separate monitor connected to the electronic camera. If it is desired to provide supplementary information during a presentation with the electronic camera, such supplementary information may be overlaid on any arbitrary section of the image being displayed using a pen type pointing device, for example. Furthermore, the supplementary overlaid information may be erased independently from other recorded information as needed because the supplementary information is stored in a different area of memory from the image and memo information.

Abstract: An electronic camera records pictures and sound associated with the picture images, and enables reproduction of selected picture images. When one of the picture images of a range of continuously-shot picture images is reproduced, the sound corresponding to the entire range of continuously-shot picture images is reproduced.

Abstract: The voltage of batteries is detected, and a determination is made whether the detected voltage is less than the normal value. If the detected voltage is below the normal value, a determination is made whether a sound recording priority flag is on. If the sound recording priority mode has not been set, a low battery level warning sound is generated to indicate that the level of the battery is low. If a determination is made that the sound recording priority mode has been set, however, the battery level warning sound (or other various operating sounds of the camera) is not generated. As a result, noise is reduced because the battery level warning sound and/or other operating sounds are not recorded.

Abstract: A photometric device, to measure light incident from a photographic lens of a camera, which can perform accurate photometry, independently of the direction of polarization of the incident light. The photometric device is provided with a first semi-transparent mirror, located between the photographic lens and an imaging plane of the camera, for dividing incident light from the photographic lens into a reflected beam and a transmitted beam. A second semi-transparent mirror is located in a position where the reflected beam from this first semi-transparent mirror is incident, and divides the incident light into a reflected beam and a transmitted beam. A photometric unit, for performing photometry, is located in a position to receive light of the transmitted beam from the second semi-transparent mirror.
