Abstract

A method and system for creating a slide show with real-time audio in a digital camera. First audio is recorded that implicitly includes a time-based time-line. While the audio is being recorded, a plurality of images are captured, where each one of the plurality of images is captured at some time along the time-line. After capturing images, the recording of the audio is ended. The method and system further includes presenting a slide show from the plurality of images and the recorded audio by playing the recorded audio, while displaying each one of the plurality of images on a display device at the time that the image was captured along the time-line of the recorded audio.
