Mode dial 10 is capable of setting a certain photography mode from among a plurality of photography modes including a moving image photography mode and a still image photography mode. Function setting unit 140 performs a setting so as to, when mode dial 10 sets the certain photography mode to the moving image photography mode, achieve a first function using common terminal 12, and, when mode dial 10 sets the certain photography mode to the still image photography mode, achieve a second function using common terminal 12. Function setting unit 140 does not achieve the second function in the moving image photography mode, and does not achieve the first function in the still image photography mode.

    摘要: A signal processing device includes an input interface, an image processor, an audio processor, and a controller. The input interface receives signals of a video and an audio acquired concurrently in a space where subjects exist. The image processor recognizes subject images in the video, to determine a first type of area where each subject exists. The audio processor recognizes sound sources in the audio, to determine a second type of area where each sound source exists in the space, independently of the first type of area. The controller uses the first and second types of areas to judge coincidence or non-coincidence between a position of the each subject and a position of the each sound source, to determine a combination of a subject and a sound source whose positions coincide with each other. The controller selectively determines the subject image to be output that corresponds to the combination.

    摘要: An imaging apparatus includes: an image sensor that captures a subject image to generate image data; an audio processor that generates audio data associated with the image data; and a receiver that receives a first audio signal and a second audio signal from an external sound collection apparatus. The first audio signal indicates a result of first amplification conversion performed on input sound in the sound collection apparatus. The second audio signal indicates a result of second amplification conversion performed on the input sound in the sound collection apparatus, the second amplification conversion being different from the first amplification conversion. The audio processor performs processing to combine the first and second audio signals, which received from the receiver as input, with each other, to generate the audio data of a sound collection result indicating the input sound in a predetermined data format.
