Abstract
An image capturing device includes a wireless receiver, at least one input device, a memory, and a processor. The memory includes a learned commands table that stores one or more received remote control commands and associated user input commands. The processor receives a remote control command from the wireless receiver, receives a user input from the at least one input device, recalls a user input command corresponding to the user input, associates the remote control command with the user input command, and stores the remote control command and the user input command in the learned command table.
