An ink jet recording apparatus which is able to be operated by communication from a higher-level device includes a printing head that ejects ink, a communication unit which is able to perform communicating with the higher-level device, a program storage unit that stores a program, and a printing control unit that controls the printing head, and the program storage unit includes a communication program storage area in which a program corresponding to a predetermined communication protocol is stored in advance, and the program storage unit includes an extension area in which a program corresponding to a communication protocol different from the predetermined communication protocol is installable.

Ink jet recording apparatus

The present invention relates to a recording apparatus and method, a reproducing apparatus and method, and a program that make it possible to photograph and record a still image and moving images before and after the still image as well. In step S, when a still-image-with-moving-image photographing mode is set, moving image temporary storage is started. When a shutter is depressed in step S, in step S, a photographed still image is recorded and one moving image is generated from the moving image before the still image stored in step S, a moving image obtained by converting the photographed still image, and a moving image photographed after the depression of the shutter and the one moving image generated is recorded. Therefore, the moving images before and after the still image are recorded together with a high-definition still image.
