Abstract
A camera includes a sound pressure section, a release determining section, and a shutter driving section. The sound pressure detecting section detects the sound pressure level of an input sound. The release determining section outputs a release signal when the sound pressure level detected by the sound pressure detecting section is a reference value or more for a predetermined period of time. The shutter driving section performs a release operation in response to the release signal from the release determining section.
