1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- recording means for recording given image data or data other than the image in a recording medium;
display means for displaying the image;
power supply means for supplying electric power to said display means;
judging means for judging, during a time when an image is confirmed in an image reproduction mode, if a power supply capacity of said power supply means becomes smaller than a predetermined first capacity;
control means for turning off said display means when a judging result of said judging means in relation to the first capacity is affirmative;
wherein, when said display means is turned off during the time the image is confirmed in the image reproduction mode, an indicating unit having a lower power consumption than the display means is turned on to indicate that a process is being executed and writing of data left to be stored is performed.

Abstract
There is disclosed an image processing apparatus in which a system control circuit (50) monitors the power source voltage when data write access to a recording medium (200) occurs, and cuts off power supply to an image display unit (28) when the power source voltage becomes smaller than a predetermined value L2, so as to reduce write errors of data to be written resulting from a power source voltage drop, a control method of the image processing apparatus, and a storage medium.

7. A method of controlling an image processing apparatus, comprising the steps of:
-
recording given image data or data other than the image in a recording medium; displaying the image on a display device; judging, during a time when an image is confirmed in an image reproduction mode, if a power supply capacity of electric power supplied to the display device becomes smaller than a predetermined first capacity; controlling recording by turning off said display device when a judging result in said judging step in relation to the first capacity is affirmative; and wherein, when the display device is turned off during the time the image is confirmed in the image reproduction mode, an indicating unit having a lower power consumption than the display device is turned on to indicate that a process is being executed and writing of data left to be stored is performed. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. An image processing apparatus comprising:
-
recording means for recording given image data or data other than the image in a recording medium; displaying means for displaying the image data on a display device; power supply means for supplying electric power to said image processing apparatus; judging means for judging, during a time when an image is confirmed in an image reproduction mode, if a power supply capacity of said power supply means becomes smaller than a predetermined first capacity; and control means for controlling turning off said display device when a judging result of said judging means in relation to the first capacity is affirmative; and power supply control means for reducing the electric power to be supplied to said image processing apparatus while assuring electric power to be supplied to said recording means when the supply capacity of said power supply means becomes smaller than the predetermined first capacity, wherein, when said power supply control means reduces the electric power to be supplied to said image processing apparatus, the display device is turned off and an indicating unit is turned on to indicate that a process is being executed, and wherein power consumption of said indicating unit is lower than power consumption of said display device.

15. A method of controlling an image processing apparatus, comprising the steps of:
-
recording given image data or data other than the image in a recording medium; displaying the image data on a display device; judging, during a time when an image is confirmed in an image reproduction mode, if a supply capacity of electric power supplied to said image processing apparatus becomes smaller than a predetermined first capacity; controlling by turning off said display device when a judging result in said judging step in relation to the first capacity is affirmative; and reducing the electric power to be supplied to said image processing apparatus while assuring electric power to be supplied to said recording means when it is determined in the judging step that the supply capacity becomes smaller than the predetermined first capacity, wherein, when the electric power to be supplied to said image processing apparatus is reduced in said reducing step, the display device is turned off and an indicating unit is turned on to indicate that a process is being executed, and wherein power consumption of said indicating unit is lower than power consumption of said display device. - View Dependent Claims (16)
