Abstract
A mobile communication device () includes a camera module () which provides an image stream when the camera module is active. The image stream is used to display images on a display () to provide a viewfinder function so that a user of the mobile communication device can see to what the camera is aimed. While the mobile communication device is operating in camera mode, the mobile communication device receives a signal at a radio receiver () during a time slot of a time division multiple access frame (). To prevent the camera module from interfering with the receiver operation, the camera module operation is suspended during the receiver time slot.
