Capture and deletion of audio data during image capture

摘要

A portable electronic device can record both picture and sound data. On pressing a shutter button picture and sound data is captured and continued pressing of the button maintains recording of the associated audio. The button needs to be pressed for a pre-determined time period for the audio to be continued to be recorded, and it may be recorded for a pre-selected time interval. If the button is not activated for the pre-determined time the audio can be deleted.
