Abstract
A digital camera includes an optical assembly and image sensor for capturing still and/or video images and displaying the images on a screen. The camera includes three or more spaced apart microphones aligned with the optical assembly for capturing audio during image capture. At least two pairs of microphones are spaced apart along orthogonal directional axes for capturing left-right stereo sound in any camera orientation.
