1. An image data recording apparatus for recording image data including a plurality of pictures, comprising:
- first code generating means for generating a recording-finished code representative of whether one of the plurality of pictures of the image data has been recorded in a freely loadable/unloadable memory cartridge having a semiconductor memory capable of recording the image data including the plurality of pictures in a first predetermined area of said semiconductor memory;
second code generating means for generating a recording sequence code indicative of a recording sequence for each of the plurality of pictures recorded in said memory cartridge, said recording sequence code being incremented whenever one of the plurality of pictures of the image data is recorded in said memory cartridge; and
control means, operative in response to each of the plurality of pictures of the image data being recorded in said semiconductor memory of said memory cartridge, for storing said recording-finished code and said recording sequence code generated by said second code generating means for each of the plurality of pictures of the image data in a second predetermined area of said semiconductor memory in correspondence with the image data recorded in said first predetermined area of said semiconductor memory.

Abstract
An image data recording apparatus is provided which includes a digital electronic still video camera for storing image data representative of a plurality of pictures. When the image data is recorded in the memory of a freely loadable/unloadable memory cartridge, a recording-finished code and recording sequence codes are stored in the memory which correspond to the image data recorded therein. Thereby, the order in which the plurality of pictures are recorded may be successively numbered even when undesired pictures are taken.

9. A method for recording image data including a plurality of pictures, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) generating a recording-finished code representative of whether one of the plurality of pictures of the image data has been recorded in a freely loadable/unloadable memory cartridge having a semiconductor memory capable of recording the image data including the plurality of pictures in a first predetermined area of said semiconductor memory; (b) generating a recording sequence code indicative of a recording sequence for each of the plurality of pictures recorded in said memory cartridge, said recording sequence code being incremented whenever one of the plurality of pictures of the image data is recorded in said memory cartridge; and (c) storing said recording-finished code and said recording sequence code for each of the plurality of pictures of the image data generated at said steps (a) and (b) in a second predetermined area of said semiconductor memory in response to each of the plurality of pictures of the image data being recorded in said memory cartridge. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
