Abstract
This invention relates to an imaging apparatus and an imaging method for supplying an optimum amount of image data to another apparatus. When a PDAhas a maximum transfer rate of 1.5 Mbps, a mobile phonedetermines that a maximum speed of communication with the PDAis low, reduces accordingly the amount of moving image data captured by a CCD of the mobile phone, and supplies the captured moving image data to the PDA. The PDAdisplays a low-quality moving imageon its display unit. When the PDAhas a maximum transfer rate of 480 Mbps, the CPU of the mobile phone leaves unchanged the amount of moving picture data captured by the CCD and supplies the captured moving image data to the PDA. The PDAthen displays a high-quality moving imageon the display unit. This invention applies advantageously to digital cameras.
