To easily confirm a function set with the input of a voice and to make operability excellent by recognizing the voice of a user from the registered voices, so as to set the corresponding function and generating the voice corresponding to this function.

A voice signal from a microphone 15 is inputted to a preamplifier 111, amplified to be a digital voice signal by an A/D converter 113 and transmitted to a microprocessor 110. An RAM 114 is a working memory for previously storing the sound characteristic of a photographer and executing voice processing and an ROM 115 is stored with voice data generated from a camera. Then, both of the RAM 114 and the ROM 115 are connected to the microprocessor 110, through a memory controller 116. The microprocessor 110 converts the voice date called from the ROM 115 into an analog voice signal by a D/A converter 117. A power amplifier 118 amplifies the voice data, to obtain suitable sound volume and outputs the voice data to a speaker 14, to generate the voice.
