Still image record/playback apparatus including an electronic camera and a player connectable thereto
First Claim
1. Still image record/playback apparatus comprising:
- an electronic camera including image means for generating image signals in response to an optical image, record/playback means for recording frames of image signals on a record medium and selectively operable to play back recorded image signals, and shutter release switch means normally actuable to cause said record/playback means to record image signals; and
a player connectable to said camera and including signal processing means for processing played back image signals to produce video signals, and frame feed switch means actuable to cause said record/playback means to play back a frame of image signals; and
apparatus further including additional means for causing said record/playback means to play back a frame of image signals in response to the actuation of said shutter release switch means when said camera and player are connected.

Abstract
Still image record/playback apparatus comprising an electronic camera including an image sensor for sensing an optical image and generating image signals representative thereof, a recorder for recording frames of image signals and selectively operable for playing back recorded image signals and a shutter release switch normally actuable to drive the recorder to record image signals. A player is connectable to the camera and has a signal processor for processing the played back image signals to produce video signals, and a frame feed switch to drive the recorder to play back a frame of image signals. When the camera and player are connected, actuation of the shutter release switch drives the recorder to play back one or more frames of image signals.

6. Still image record/playback apparatus comprising:
- an electronic camera including image means for generating image signals in response to an optical image, record/playback means for recording frames of image signals on a record medium and selectively operable to play back recorded image signals, and shutter switch means actuable to first and second operating states for selecting the operation of said record/playback means;
a player connectable to said camera and including signal processing means for processing played back image signals to produce video signals, and frame feed switch means actuable to cause said record/playback means to play back a frame of image signals; and
control means operable when said camera and player are not connected for conditioning said record/playback means to record image signals when said shutter switch means is actuated to said first operating state and for causing said record/playback means to record image signals when said shutter switch means is actuated to said second operating state, said control means being operable when said camera and player are connected for causing said record/playback means to play back a frame of image signals when said shutter switch means is actuated to said first operating state and for causing said record/playback means to play back successive frames of image signals when said shutter switch means is actuated to said second operating state. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
