Abstract
A signal-recording-and-reproducing portion records an image signal DVb of a variable frame-rate picked-up image generated by an image signal generation portion. When instructed to reproduce the image signal, the recorded signal is reproduced and supplied to a frame rate conversion portion as an image signal DVr. The frame rate conversion portion converts the image signals DVb and DVr to a display frame rate and supplies them to a monitor image signal generation portion as image signals DVb' and DVr′. The monitor image signal generation portion then generates a monitor image displaying images based on the image signals DVb′ and DVr′ on a screen. An adjustment of the frame rate referring to reproduced image displayed together with an image that is being shot allows an image signal to be easily generated so that a motion of a subject can be matched to a desired speed at the reproduction thereof.
