Abstract
An image signal recording apparatus for recording on a recording medium an image signal obtained by sensing the image of an object is arranged to generate first and second sensed image signals having a first resolution, to generate a third sensed image signal having the first resolution by performing a computing process on the first and second sensed image signals, to form a first recording image signal corresponding to the first and second sensed image signals and a second recording image signal corresponding to the third sensed image signal, and to selectively record on the recording medium the first recording image signal or the second recording image signal. The invented apparatus arranged in this manner retains interchangeability with the conventional format and yet is capable of recording on the recording medium an image signal with a higher degree of image quality than the conventional apparatus.
