An image pickup terminal includes an image pickup section, a data storage
section which stores shutter sound setup data that sets a shutter sound
generating when the image pickup section performs an imaging, a shutter
sound generating section which generates a shutter sound based on the
shutter sound setup data stored in the data storage section, a shutter
sound appropriateness checking section which determines whether a shutter
sound based on the shutter sound setup data stored in the data storage
section is appropriate or not, and a control section which inhibits data
setting of a shutter sound determined as being inappropriate by the
shutter sound appropriateness checking section.
