A mobile communication device (100) includes a camera module (102) which
provides an image stream when the camera module is active. The image
stream is used to display images on a display (114) 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 (104) during a time slot of a time division
multiple access frame (110). To prevent the camera module from
interfering with the receiver operation, the camera module operation is
suspended during the receiver time slot.
