<p>A digital camera (1) for capturing sound passages as well as still images has the following elements. It has a camera apparatus (21) for capturing still images. It also has a sound recording apparatus (101, 102, 103, 106) for capturing sound passages. A memory (107) is used for retaining still images as still image files and sound passages as sound passage files. The user interface of the camera is adapted for selectively linking one or more still image files with one or more sound passage files to form a linked group, and for selectively unlinking one or more files from a linked group. This equivalent treatment of still images and sound passages allows effective use of the camera for recording ambient sound together with images, and for flexible construction of sound/image composites representing a user's experience in a rich and effective manner.</p> |
