Abstract
A series of frames forming the moving image includes intra-frame predictive frames, inter-frame predictive frames, and a non-reference frame at predetermined intervals. A still image corresponding to a next non-reference frame is encoded when a waiting period from an instruction point in time at which a still image is instructed to be captured to the next non-reference frame is equal to or less than a predetermined time. An image of a current frame at the instruction point in time as a non-reference frame is encoded, and a still image corresponding to the current frame is encoded when the waiting period exceeds the predetermined time.
