Imaging method and imaging apparatus

摘要

An imaging unit reads an image signal from an image pickup device representing a captured image. A signal processor generates image data from the image signal and generates audio data by sampling an analogue audio signal provided with the image signal. A controller controls the operation of the imaging unit and the signal processor to alter a frame rate of the image data to a predetermined set frame rate and to generate associated information for indicating the set frame rate or the like. A transmitter combines the associated information with the image data and the audio data to transmit the combined ones as material data.
