Abstract
The present invention is intended to solve a problem which may be encountered during a transfer from a mode for searching a desired still image to a mode for performing actual reproduction during the process in which still image information is reproduced from a tape-shaped recording medium on which a multiplicity of helical tracks are formed for one picture of still image information, one picture of still image information and address information indicative of the number thereof being recorded in the multiplicity of helical tracks. The sensation of an operator can be made coincident with an actually reproduced still image, for example, by effecting such mode transfer by detecting and using a number adjacent to a desired still image number or by shifting the tape-shaped recording medium by a predetermined amount. Accordingly, it is possible to to search a desired still image rapidly and easily.
