Image-data recording device and image-reproduction device for an electronic still camera
First Claim
1. A recording device, used in an electronic still camera, for recording image data derived from objects to be photographed in an over-writable memory means at regular predetermined time intervals, comprising:
- release switch means for performing photographing operations;
means for setting a series of recording areas in said over-writable memory means, a plurality of said image data being recordable in said recording areas;
means for initiating a recording of said image data in said recording areas of said over-writable memory means by switching said release switch means ON, in such a manner that said image data are successively stored in said recording areas of said memory means; and
means for repeating the recording of said image data in said memory means in an endless manner until said release switch means is switched OFF.

Abstract
A recording device is incorporated in an electronic still camera for recording image data derived from an optical image of a moving object to be photographed, in a suitable memory at regular predetermined time intervals. A series of recording areas are set in the over-writable memory to record a series of image data derived from the images to be photographed, and the device comprises a release switch for initiating recording of the image data in the recording areas of the memory by switching the release switch ON, in such a manner that the image data are successively stored in the recording areas of the memory in order. The recording of the image data in the memory is repeated in an endless manner until the release switch is switched OFF.

9. An electronic still camera, comprising:
-
means for photographing an object to output a plurality of image signals corresponding to said object; a recording medium having a plurality of over-writable recording areas each of which can record one frame of said image signals; means for recording said image signals outputted from said photographing means in said recording medium for each frame; and means for setting a series of the recording areas in which the plurality of said image signals are to be recorded, said setting means setting a recording area every time said recording means records said image signals corresponding to one frame, in such a manner that said recording area is cyclicly changed within said plurality of the recording areas.

18. An electronic still camera, comprising:
-
means for photographing an object to output a plurality of single-frames of image signals corresponding to said object; a recording medium having a plurality of over-writable recording areas, each of said over-writable recording areas recording a single-frame of said image signals; means for recording the single-frame of image signals outputted from said photographing means in said recording medium; and means for setting the plurality of recording areas in which the plurality of single-frames of said image signals are to be recorded, said setting means setting a recording area as said recording means records the single-frame of image signals, such that said recording area is cyclically changed within said plurality of the recording areas.
