IMAGING APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: A video apparatus and a control method thereof are provided to increase the performance of voice recognition by lowering the volume of a voice outputted from the video apparatus in case the video apparatus recognizes the voice of a user. CONSTITUTION: A first voice input unit (112) inputs a voice signal on a user side. A sound output unit (122) outputs a sound signal from a video apparatus. A first voice recognition unit (210) analyzes the sound signal on the inputted user side. If a voice recognition initializing command is inputted, a control unit (220) lowers the size of a sound, which is outputted through the sound output unit, to a predetermined level.
