Some digital cameras allow you to add audio attachments to your photos. For example, some
cameras allow you to record audio annotations for a photo after you shoot it. The camera
attaches the audio file to the image file so that you can review the audio when you download
the photo. When you connect a digital camera or card reader or point to a folder with photos
on your computer, Aperture recognizes any photo that has an audio attachment. You can also
import standalone QuickTime-compatible audio and video files.
