To exceedingly improve the operability of a photographing device by making it possible for a photographer to easily and surely select whether or not a processing for recording/forming a voice code image on a printing medium should be performed.

A mode setting part 20 is made useable in the case the photographer optionally sets either of a 1st mode and a 2nd mode, and in the 1st mode, a prescribed processing operation necessary for recording/forming the voice code image on the printing medium is allowed, on the other hand, in the 2nd mode, the prescribed processing operation necessary for recording/forming the voice code image on the printing medium is not allowed. And, the mode set by the mode setting part 20 is displayed on the display part 16A of an output part 16. In this case, the prescribed processing operation which can be executed when the 1st mode is set means each operation of a voice input part 10 and a voice compression part 12.
