Abstract
A communication device is provided which is capable of transmitting pickup images efficiently with high portability, manipulativity and instantaneous response. The communication device is disclosed in which according to one preferred embodiment, a control apparatus starts a communicating (such as radio transmission) operation in a communication apparatus simultaneous to an image pickup operation in an image pickup function when a predetermined operation is instructed by a manipulation of a manipulation apparatus from a user in a communication device having the image pickup function. Thereby, the pickup images obtained by the image pickup function are automatically transmitted to a specified transmission destination via a communicative apparatus. Thus, a user can transmit pickup images to a desired transmission destination simultaneously only by making a simple manipulation of changing the operating mode of the device to a predetermined mode or the like.
