Abstract

The invention relates to a digital camera comprising at least a memory unit for saving pictures and a control unit that is adapted to control the operation of the camera and to form a trigger tone on the basis of the state of the camera. The trigger tone indicates the triggering of the camera and the current state of the camera. The invention also relates to a method and a computer program product for forming an information tone of a digital camera.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a digital camera according to the preamble of claim 1 . The invention also relates to a method for forming a digital camera message tone according to the preamble of appended claim 8 and a computer program product according to the preamble of appended claim 15 . Background technique [0002] In a conventional film camera, the user can recognize the operation of the camera by hearing the shutter sound. In many digital cameras, there is no mechanical sound when taking pictures. Thus in some digital camera applications, the shutter sound is generated by a separate sound source while the image is being captured. [0003] Digital cameras typically include some kind of user interface (UI) including the sound source and display. A large amount of information can be displayed in the display. This information may relate to camera functions, eg to memory or to image quality settings. Digital cameras often contain a variety of image ...
