An information processing apparatus has a plurality of recording media, and includes an imaging unit operable to capture an image of a subject, and a recording unit operable to record image data of the captured image onto the recording media such that the amounts of recorded image data differ between the recording media. The same image data is recorded onto at least a first recording medium built in the apparatus and a second recording medium removable from the apparatus such that the amount of data recorded on the first medium is smaller than that recorded on the second medium. In this information processing apparatus, a user can view images captured previously with more ease because image data recorded on the first recording medium is sorted by date and is provided to the user in this state.

Information processing apparatus and method, and program

An imaging apparatus can obtain a high quality still picture imaging signal in the all pixels read out mode and output it by means of an output processing means adapted to the interlaced read out mode. The imaging signal read out from a CCD image sensor in the interlaced read out mode is directly supplied to a DV recording/reproducing processing section by way of a camera signal processing circuit . The imaging signal read out from said CCD image sensor in the apparatus is converted into an interlaced signal by a scan conversion section A, which is then supplied to the DV recording/reproducing processing section

Imaging apparatus

In an image recording/reproducing apparatus and its method which is capable of readily extracting a still image from a moving image for recording, a still image designated by the user is extracted from a moving image inputted from image input/output means (C C ) or from a moving image reproduced by moving image recording means ( ), and the extracted still image is recorded in still image recording means ( ); thereby making it possible to readily extract a still image from a moving image and record the extracted still image, without interconnecting a plurality of devices as required before, and highly improving the usability in consequence.
