ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a microphone switching apparatus and method for a mobile communication terminal having a camcorder function, and in particular, a mobile communication terminal having a rotational camera so as to record more distinct and clearer sound, by disposing a microphone on the front and rear side of a mobile communication terminal and operating a microphone at a position corresponding to the direction of a subject (an object to be recorded) and a sound source. In a related art mobile communication terminal, a volume of voice/sound from a subject is recorded undesirably low when a subject is located in front direction of a mobile communication terminal and a camera is directed toward the subject, since it is recorded through the microphone located in the rear side of the terminal, wherein the microphone for voice communication is used for recording voice/sound when performing a camcorder function. To solve the aforementioned problems, a microphone switching apparatus and method for a mobile communication terminal has an effect to increase a volume and clearness of voice or sound which is recorded in video, and thereby to greatly improve the quality of video, which additionally disposes a front microphone on a front side of a mobile communication terminal so as to be used when performing a camcorder function, selects automatically or manually either of the front microphone or the rear microphone according to a derection of a camera, which the rear microphone is used for voice communication.
