A select/execute key (6) of a mobile unit (2) having a transmitter (1.sub.i) is operated to transmit signals including ID data, and the transmitted signals are received by a receiver (11). The ID data is ascertained by a transmitter identifying component (12), and the direction and distance to transmitter (1.sub.i) are determined by a direction/distance evaluation component (13), thus determining the location of the transmitter. When the location of transmitter (1.sub.i) has been ascertained, a camera controller component 17 selects camera (14.sub.l).about.(14.sub.n) or (14.sub.c) and controls its panning and tilting, thereby adjusting its angle of view and bringing it into focus. Camera (14.sub.l).about.(14.sub.n) or (14.sub.c) is operated to take pictures for approximately one minute after the signals from transmitter (1.sub.i) is received. Pictures taken by camera (14.sub.l).about.(14.sub.n) or (14.sub.c), as well as the ID of transmitter (1.sub.i) ascertained by transmitter identifying component (12), are recorded on a picture recording component (18) in the order of elapsed time. Recorded images are edited by an editing component (19) according to the ID of transmitter (1.sub.l) so that pictures corresponding to the same ID are extracted and dubbed on a standard video tape or a similar medium in the order of elapsed time by a dubbing device (20). |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A method of taking pictures of a subject at a location on a golf course comprising, transmitting signals including locational data from the subject, receiving the signals from the subject and determining from the locational data, a direction/distance of the subject, selecting, based on the direction/distance of the subject, a camera from a plurality of cameras installed around the golf course and orienting the selected camera toward the subject, computing with said locational data a distance between the subject and a location of the selected camera, determining a degree of selected camera zooming responsive to said computed distance and zooming the selected camera to the zooming degree thereby adjusting an angle of view, focusing the selected camera responsive to said computed distance, and then taking a picture of the subject with the selected camera.
2.
A method of taking pictures, according to claim 1, wherein: said signals include identification data from said subject; and said picture being taken with said identification data being specified.
3.
A method of taking pictures, according to claim 2, further comprising the steps of: recording said picture according to said identification data; and storing said picture separately according to said signal and said identification data.
4.
A method of taking pictures, according to claim 3, further comprising the steps of: combining said picture with said identification data; taking additional pictures of said subject; editing said pictures according to said identification data; and storing said edited pictures according to said identification data and said locational data.
Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates to a method and an apparatus for taking pictures of a specific subject.
BACKGROUND ART Nowadays, taking pictures of a player on a golf course or the like is usually done by a professional or amateur photographer taking a strip comprising approximately 10 frames at the starting hole or another member shooting a video of the player
