A system and method (400) permits automatic recording of information associated with a captured image. The system includes a camera (200) and a data broadcast apparatus (300) located in the vicinity of an object (50) to be photographed. The camera (200) receives an instruction to capture an image including the object (50) and, in response thereto: captures the image including the object (50) during an exposure time period, T<SUB>EXP</SUB>; and during the exposure time period T<SUB>EXP</SUB>, receives a broadcast signal in a non-visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum from the data broadcast apparatus (300), the signal including a frame of data regarding the object (50) broadcast at a frame frequency, F<SUB>FRAME</SUB>, where F<SUB>FRAME</SUB> > 1/ T<SUB>EXP</SUB>. The camera (200) stores the image the frame of data regarding the object (50) such that the data regarding the object (50) is coupled to the captured image including the object (50). |
