Abstract

A camera for taking photographs by voice recognition operations. The camera comprises a microphone through which voiced command words of an operator are registered in a computer as a form of digital data. Voice registration can be done by using the actual camera operating switches. The computer identifies the same voiced command words in accordance with the registered data and operates the intended functions of the camera. The camera indicates the functioning of the computer for the registration and the recognition of the voiced command words with a display device so that the operator can confirm his operations on the camera.
