Abstract:
In a video camera having a zoom lens and a microphone pickup for recording sound associated with the video images, the acoustic focus (or acoustic acceptance angle) of the microphone pickup is varied between uni-directional and omni-directional in synchronism with the zoom lens control of the camera in order to correlate the optical field of view of the lens with the acoustic field of view of the microphone for optimum coordination of picture and sound.
