Abstract
A CPU detects the available space A of a first recording medium, the available space B of a second recording medium and a preprogrammed image information amount C necessary for preprogrammed recording by first and second recording medium space managing portions and the contents of preprogrammed recording input from an operation portion by the user. When the preprogrammed image information amount C is larger than the available space A of the first recording medium, an amount of shortage in recording space for preprogrammed information D is obtained from the CPU by subtracting the available space A of the first recording medium from the preprogrammed image information amount C. A larger amount of image information than the recording space shortage D is selected from the image information stored on the first recording medium, and the selected image information is moved to the second recording medium.
