Abstract
A video camera capable of recording and/or reproducing multiple channel audio signals and video signals simultaneously in a single recording medium in such a manner as to reproduce omnidirectional ambient sounds as surround sound. The video camera includes a number of microphones and records first multiple audio signals obtained by processing the audio signals outputted from the microphones to generate the multiple channel audio signals and also records a second audio signal obtained by processing all of the audio signals outputted from the microphones in the recording medium simultaneously with the video signals, so that the first multiple audio signals and the second audio signal can be reproduced independently of each other.
