Digital camera that can clip voice on picture by one-touch keypad operation}

The present invention allows the digital camera to record the voice of a person at the same time, and the user who takes the picture to play back or edit the photographed picture later by leaving a narration description of the photographed subject as a voice. In this case, it is possible to check the meaning of the photograph taken or the date and time taken and additional description of the photograph by voice, so that it can be efficiently used when classifying or editing the photograph, and sometimes the photograph description is spoken. A digital camera that can record / play back audio that can also be used as an electronic album.It is possible to set up the voice recording function through the operation of a separate menu key or to take a picture without operating or pressing a separate recording key after taking a picture. Press and hold the shutter button pressed to make voice recording. It is a device that can leave a recorded voice for the convenience of taking pictures to provide.

A general film camera sees a specific subject through a lens and the user presses a shooting button to take a picture when the lens is in focus. At this time, the photographed subject is stored in a film inside the camera and developed through a special chemical. The photographs taken through the film camera are stored in the album, and some users record descriptions of the photographs such as the date taken in the margin of the album or who the person in the photograph is.

Recently, due to the development of electronics industry such as computer, unlike the general film camera, it is possible to check the photo data taken by digital camera through computer etc. without the need for separate development work. A more convenient and convenient digital camera has emerged, which allows you to instantly view and take photos taken with the camera on the LCD window mounted on the digital camera.

In addition, digital cameras did not have a voice recording function at first, but recently, a digital camera has been developed to process a video clip as well as a voice recording function. Therefore, even in recent digital cameras, it is possible to record a voice while taking a picture, but such a recording function is to record a voice while recording a video. It is different from leaving it as a recording.

In addition, some digital camera products may record a description of the picture by voice as in the present invention, but these digital cameras use a separate menu key to set a voice recording function or take a picture before taking a picture. Voice recording is made possible by operating or pressing a separate recording key.

However, when the voice recording function is set by the operation of a separate menu key, it is convenient to leave a voice message after taking a picture continuously with a single operation of the menu key. There is a situation in which a voice message must be left discontinuously in some cases. In this case, the user has to repeatedly set and release the voice recording function by operating a menu key. In addition, in case of operating or pressing a separate voice recording key after taking a picture, it is troublesome to repeatedly operate a separate voice recording key every time a picture is taken and a voice message is left.

Therefore, the digital camera capable of voice recording or voice clip by one-touch in the present invention allows voice recording by operating a separate menu key by allowing the user to record voice while pressing the shutter continuously for taking a picture. There is no need to set, and also provides the ability to leave a voice message for a picture more conveniently without the need to press a separate recording key.

The present invention, as described above, in the conventional digital camera, eliminates the hassle of the operation method in recording the description or memo by voice for the photographed picture, the user can conveniently explain or message about the photographed picture. An object of the present invention is to provide a voice recording apparatus capable of recording audio.
