Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an image capture apparatus with a reduced size for capturing still image data. An extracting circuit extracts at least an area of still image data. A dividing circuit divides the area extracted by the extracting circuit into a plurality of first through nth areas. A memory circuit has a storage capacity smaller than a storage capacity required to store the still image data, and stores at least a portion of the image data of the first through nth areas provided by the dividing circuit. A transfer circuit transfers the image data stored in the memory circuit to an external device.
