Abstract
An image recording apparatus which realizes, at low cost, both an increased number of serially sensed frames and increased speed of serial image sensing. The image recording apparatus comprises: a photoelectric converter for converting light from an object to an electric signal; a first temporary storage for temporarily storing data outputted by the photoelectric converter; an image processor for performing image processing, including compression processing, on the data read out of the first temporary storage; a second temporary storage for temporarily storing the data, on which image processing has been performed by the image processor; and a recording device for recording the data, read out of the second temporary storage, in a recording medium.
