Abstract

A portable electronic picture recording device includes a camera, an A/D converter for converting the analog picture signal to digital picture data, a signal processing and control circuit for compressing the digital picture data for storage and for restoring the data on playback and for processing the picture signal frames in single-picture, multi-picture, and scene shooting (sequence) modes, an electronic memory having erasable, programmable, nonvolatile memory cells, and a D/A converter for converting restored digital picture data into analog output signals. The electronic memory has EEPROM cells formed at a high packing density with VLSI technology, so that the picture recording device can have camcorder-like functions without a moving storage medium and with comparatively low power consumption.
