Patent ID: 8482624

Claim:
An image pickup device comprising: an imaging section that executes a moving picture pickup processing and a still picture pickup processing; a voice recording section that executes a voice recording processing in parallel with the moving picture pickup processing; an interrupt processing section that sequentially executes, during the moving picture pickup processing by the imaging section, a processing to suspend the moving picture pickup processing by the imaging section, a processing to pickup a still picture by the imaging section, and a processing to resume the moving picture pickup processing by the imaging section, wherein the interrupt processing section continually executes the voice recording processing executed by the voice recording section in parallel with the moving picture pickup processing before the moving picture pickup processing is suspended, until the moving picture pickup processing is resumed; a sound output section that outputs a notice tone before the still picture pickup processing by the imaging section, and a notice tone control section that prohibits a sound output section from outputting a notice tone when the imaging section picks up a still picture in accordance with the interrupt processing and allows the sound output section to output a notice tone when the imaging section picks up a still picture independently of the interrupt processing.
