A recording apparatus comprises a recording unit configured to record a moving image to a recording medium; a communication unit configured to communicate with an external apparatus; an input unit configured to accept a predetermined instruction; and a control unit configured to perform control such that, in a case where the predetermined instruction is accepted by the input unit during recording of a moving image by the recording unit, a moving image portion for which recording ended is automatically transferred to the external apparatus in accordance with ending of recording of a predetermined unit of the moving image.

Recording apparatus and control method of the same

A data recording apparatus records data onto a recording medium having a flash memory in which data can be written in block units using a part of a recording region as an alternative block for a defect block in which normal data writing cannot be performed. The data recording apparatus causes a user to select one of plural recording modes including a first recording mode and a second recording mode in which an amount of data to be processed is larger than that of the first recording mode, then obtains data in the selected recording mode and stores the data onto the recording medium. If an alternative block remaining amount obtained from the recording medium is equal to or less than a threshold value, the data recording apparatus allows recording in the first recording mode and inhibits recording in the second recording mode.

Data recording apparatus with recording control based on defect block and control method thereof

A storing apparatus, equipped with a control unit configured to control the writing of data into a memory and to communicate a notice to an external device with a communication unit if the remaining amount of substitute blocks becomes equal to or less than a threshold value specified by stored threshold value information, includes the control unit configured to change the threshold value information, used for the notice communicated by the control unit, by the use of threshold value information received from the external device with the communication unit.
