The invention relates to a still picture recording apparatus for selecting and recording a desired screen of analog video signal as a still picture. The apparatus of the invention includes a still picture memory for storing digital signals for at least one screen, a delay memory for delaying a screen stored in the still picture memory by a time of a portion of one or plural screens, a change detecting circuit for detecting change in the screen by comparing the stored contents of the still picture memory and the delay memory and for detecting a large change in the screen, and a recording apparatus for recording the stored content of the still picture memory onto a recording medium, such as magnetic tape, when the screen is changed by a large amount, in response to the output of the screen change detecting circuit.
