Recording operation control device
First Claim
1. A device for controlling a recording operation of a still video camera in which a plurality of recording mediums can be mounted, said device comprising:
- first means for recording an image signal to a recording medium;
second means for recording said image signal to a recording medium, said first and second recording means being able to record said image signal when a voltage is applied thereto;
means for applying a voltage to said first and second recording means;
means for detecting a remaining recordable capacity of a recording medium to which an image signal is being recorded by said first or second recording means; and
,means for controlling said applying means in such a manner that, when said remaining recordable capacity reaches a predetermined amount greater than zero while said first recording means is recording an image signal, a voltage is applied to said second recording means.

Abstract
A device for controlling a recording operation of a still video camera includes a plurality of slot units, with a recording medium mounted in each of the plurality of slot units. A power supply circuit applies a voltage to the plurality of slot units to record an image signal to the recording medium through the plurality of slot units. A mechanism detects a remaining capacity of a recording medium to which an image signal is being recorded by one of the plurality of slot units. A control circuit controls the power supply circuit in such a manner than, when the remaining capacity reaches a predetermined amount while an image signal is being recorded through one of the plurality of slot units, a voltage is applied to another slot unit through which said image signal is not being recorded.

8. A device for controlling a recording operation of a still video camera, said device comprising:
-
a plurality of slot units, a recording medium being mountable in each of said plurality of slot units; a power supply circuit applying a voltage to said plurality of slot units to record an image signal to said recording medium through said plurality of slot units; means for detecting a remaining capacity of a recording medium to which an image signal is being recorded by one of said plurality of slot units; and
,a control circuit that controls said power supply circuit in such a manner than, when said remaining capacity reaches a predetermined amount greater than zero while an image signal is being recorded through one of said plurality of slot units, a voltage is applied to another slot unit through which said image signal is not being recorded.
