Abstract
A recording/playback system in which a recording file is stored in a storage through a recording operation or a pre-programmed recording operation includes a summary information generating unit that generates summary playback information of the recording file at the time of recording through the recording operation or the pre-programmed recording operation and causes the summary playback information to be stored in the storage, a summary playback button that makes an instruction for summary playback of the recording file based on the summary playback information, and an overall control unit that switches between a normal playback state and a summary playback state upon an instruction from the summary playback button during normal playback that has started through a playback button that makes an instruction for playback of the recording file. With this, the recording/playback system is provided so as to allow an operation state to be smoothly switched between normal playback and summary playback without causing stress on an operation by a viewer (operator).
