In an image pickup device of the present invention, at a time of an image capture, electric power is supplied by a voltage boosting section in a light emitting section to allow a speaker to be illuminated by an illuminating section. In a switch operation section and control section, control is made such that, if only a predetermined operation switch is operated, power is supplied to the voltage boosting section to start a voltage boosting operation. An image signal of the speaker picked up by the image pickup section of an image pickup device is converted to a digital signal and, after being encoded by an encoding section, is stored in a predetermined area of a storage section in a form related to a voice signal of the speaker.
