Abstract
A camera system includes a main camera body having a main camera processor coupled to a main body operator interface, a recording head drive circuit and wireless communication receiver, wherein the recording head drive circuit is coupled to a recording head. A remote control unit is also provided that includes a processor unit coupled to an audio record/playback circuit, a remote operator interface and a wireless communication transmitter, wherein the audio record circuit is coupled to a microphone. In operation, the processor unit of the remote control unit controls the record/playback circuit to record an audio segment of a selected duration based on control signals received from the operator interface. The processor unit transmits sound ID data corresponding to the recorded audio segment to the main camera control processor via the wireless communication transmitter and receiver, and the main camera control processor controls the operation of the recording head drive circuit to record the sound ID data on a recording strip located on a photographic film.
