Image capture apparatus whereby a narrow beam infra-red transmitter (10) and a short range radio receiver (12) are mounted within a personal digital camera (14). A push-button mechanism (16) is provided on the outer cover of the camera (14) to activate the transmitter (10) when required. An environmental camera (18) is provided with a narrow beam infra-red receiver (20) and a short range radio transmitter (22). In the case whereby, for example, a user wishes to capture an image of themselves using the environment camera (18), they can simply position themselves within the camera's field of view (26), point the digital camera (14) at the camera (18) and press the push-button mechanism (16) causing the transmitter (10) to transmit an image capture request signal (28) to the security camera (18). The captured image is transmitted via a short range transmitter (22) to the user's personal camera (14) where it is received by the receiver (12).
