Abstract
An electronic camera can be loaded with a semiconductor memory and a storage medium that has a storage capacity larger than that of the memory and is rotated to record or reproduce data. Digital image data obtained by photographing are recorded in the memory. When the residual storage capacity of the memory reaches a predetermined value, the digital image data recorded in the memory are transferred to the storage medium.
