Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An imaging system includes a sound recording apparatus and an imaging apparatus that is connected to the sound recording apparatus and records, as moving-image sounds, sounds collected by the sound recording apparatus. The imaging apparatus detects whether the sound recording apparatus has been connected thereto. Upon detecting that the sound recording apparatus has been connected to the imaging apparatus, the imaging apparatus sets a sound-recording condition associated with the sound recording apparatus as a sound-recording condition for the imaging apparatus in a sound recording process and records sounds under the sound-recording condition that has been set.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An imaging system comprising: a sound-recording apparatus; and an imaging apparatus that is connected to the sound-recording apparatus and records, as moving-image sounds under a set sound-recording condition, sounds collected by the sound-recording apparatus, wherein the sound-recording condition includes a sound-recording condition that is capable of being changed by a user and a sound-recording condition that is associated with the sound-recording apparatus and incapable of being changed by a user, and wherein the imaging apparatus detects whether the sound-recording apparatus has been connected to the imaging apparatus, and upon detecting that the sound-recording apparatus has been connected thereto, sets as the sound-recording condition, the sound-recording condition that is associated with the sound recording apparatus and incapable of being changed by a user. 2. The imaging system of claim 1 , wherein upon detecting that the sound-recording apparatus has been connected to the imaging apparatus, the imaging apparatus fixedly sets at least one of (A) a sound-recording adjustment, (B) a microphone limiter, (C) wind noise, and (D) a microphone plug-in power, as the sound-recording condition incapable of being changed by a user. 3. The imaging system of claim 1 , wherein the imaging apparatus displays, on a menu screen for setting sound-recording conditions, the set sound-recording condition incapable of being changed by a user in such a manner as to be distinguishable from other sound-recording conditions. 4. The imaging system according to claim 1 , wherein the imaging apparatus distinguishably displays, on a menu screen for setting the sound-recording condition that is capable of being changed by a user, the sound-recording condition that is capable of being changed by a user and the sound-recording condition that is associated with the sound-recording apparatus and incapable of being changed by a user. 5. An imaging apparatus that is connected to a sound-recording apparatus and records, as moving-image sounds, sounds collected by the sound-recording apparatus, the imaging apparatus comprising: a memory; and a processor connected to the memory, wherein the processor detects whether the sound-recording apparatus has been connected to the imaging apparatus, upon detecting that the sound-recording apparatus has been connected to the imaging apparatus, sets a sound-recording condition associated with the sound-recording apparatus as a sound-recording condition for the imaging apparatus in a sound recording process, the sound-recoding condition including a sound-recording condition that is associated with the sound-recording apparatus and incapable of being changed by a user.
