Abstract
An image capture apparatus includes an internal recording unit and a communication unit. The internal recording unit starts recording AV data including image and sound data on a recording medium in response to a record start instruction, and stops recording the AV data on the recording medium in response to a record stop instruction. If the image capture apparatus determines that an external storage device is connected to the communication unit, the image capture apparatus starts outputting the AV data to the external storage device in response to the record start instruction. If the image capture apparatus determines that the internal recording unit becomes unable to record the AV data on the recording medium and the communication unit is outputting the AV data, the image capture apparatus stops outputting the AV data to the external storage device in response to the record stop instruction.
