Abstract
A compressed image data transmitting device includes a compression unit dividedly reading captured image data from an image capturing element a plurality of times and performing a compression process on the captured image data to generate compressed image data; a determining unit determining whether a compressed image data occupancy ratio is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold value; and a control unit instructing the compression unit to stop reading the captured image data when the compressed image data occupancy ratio is equal to or larger than the predetermined threshold value. When the captured image data which has not been read from the compression unit is present in the image capturing element, the control unit instructs the image capturing element not to perform the image capturing, and subsequently instructs the image capturing element to perform the image capturing operation after the above-mentioned captured image data is no longer present.
