Abstract:
An image capture apparatus includes an image capture unit, a communication unit, and a control unit which communicates with an external device by first or second communication systems. The first system maintains communication connection even if the apparatus and device are not in a predetermined operational mode for executing image transmission processing. The second system maintains communication connection if the apparatus and device are in the predetermined mode. The control unit can automatically transmit a photographed image to an external device through the communication unit by the second communication system, and switch and control first and second functional modes for enabling and disabling a photography function, respectively. Where an image is photographed in the first mode, the control unit records the image as a target for automatic transmission. If the transmission target image is recorded, automatic transmission is not started during the first mode, and started during the second mode.

Claim (Index 9):
The image capture apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein:\n communication via the first communication system is lower in speed and consumes less power than communication via the second communication system; the first communication system maintains communication connection with the external device, even if the communication unit cannot execute image transmission processing due to communication connection not being established with the external device via the second communication system; and the control unit is further configured to perform predetermined communication with the external device via the first communication system, thereby transitioning from a state in which communication connection is not established, to a state in which communication connection is established, with the external device via the second communication system.
