Abstract
A sound recording system is used in conjunction with a conventional camera (C) that by itself cannot record sounds. A sound recorder ( ) has a mounting device ( ), a microphone ( ), and a sound record switch ( ) that is placed adjacent the shutter button when the recorder is mounted on the camera. A removable “Sound Stick” ( ) is inserted into the sound recorder ( ) through an opening ( ). The “Sound Stick” contains memories ( ) that record sound segments. A playback device, which may be separate or combined with the recorder is provided, into which the “Sound Stick” plugs into for downloading and playback of the sound segments. The “Sound Stick” includes a reading head ( ) that can scan a bar code that correlates the sound segments with the pictures.
