Camera with means for recognizing specific physical features of a user

摘要

A camera includes an image memory (11) for previously storing ID information of a user who is allowed to use the camera. A CCD (3) reads ID information of a user at the time of use. A CPU (12) compares and collates the read ID information with the ID information previously stored in the image memory (11). The CPU (12) allows use of the camera only when a collation result indicates correspondence of the ID information.
