Photographed image recording and reproducing apparatus with simultaneous photographing function
First Claim
1. An electronic camera comprising:
- a memory for storing various sorts of data;
a simultaneous photographing unit for recording in the memory moving image data, still image data and timing information in association with each other, when a still-image photographing operation is performed at a given timing during a moving-image photographing operation, wherein the moving image data is obtained in the moving-image photographing operation, the still image data is obtained in the still-image photographing operation, and the timing information is indicative of the timing at which the still-image photographing operation is to be performed;
a moving-image reproducing unit for reproducing moving image data recorded in the memory by the simultaneous photographing unit;
a stand-by operation starting unit for displaying a notice that still image data associated with the moving image data has been found, when a reproducing position in moving image data has reached a position corresponding to the timing indicated by the timing information while the moving image data is being reproduced by the moving-image reproducing unit, and at the same time starting a stand-by operation for waiting for instructing operation by a user;
a stand-by operation performing unit for performing the stand-by operation started by the stand-by operation starting unit continuously in parallel with reproduction of moving image data by the moving-image reproducing unit;
a still-image reproduction control unit for reproducing the still image data associated with the moving image data, when the user has performed instructing operation while the stand-by operation is being performed by the stand-by-operation performing unit;
a stand-by operation ceasing unit for controlling the still-image reproduction control unit not to reproduce the still image data associated with the moving image data, and the stand-by operation starting unit to cease displaying the notice that still image data associated with the moving image data has been found, and the stand-by operation performing unit to cease performing the stand-by operation, when the user does not perform instructing operation before a first predetermined period lapses after the stand-by operation starting unit has started the stand-by operation; and
a moving-image reproduction control unit for reproducing moving image data associated with the still image data recorded in the memory by the simultaneous photographing unit, when reproduction of moving image data is instructed while the still image data recorded in the memory by the simultaneous photographing unit is being reproduced, wherein when reproduction of the moving image data is restarted after reproduction of moving image data was interrupted by the still-image reproduction control unit to perform reproduction of still image data, the moving-image reproduction control unit starts reproduction of the moving image data from a reproducing position corresponding to the timing indicated by the timing information regardless of whether a position at which the still-image reproduction control unit interrupts reproduction of the moving image data corresponds to any position corresponding to a time falling within the first predetermined period.

Abstract
A still image is photographed by a still image photographing operation performed during a moving-image photographing operation and a moving image is photographed during the moving-image photographing operation. The still image is recorded together with link information indicating the moving image to be linked with and the moving image is recorded together with link information indicating the still image to be linked with. Further, a timing information is recorded for indicating a photographing time when the still-image photographing operation is performed during the moving-image photographing operation. In an operation for reproducing the moving image, when a still image is prepared to be linked with the moving image, a still image mark M1 is displayed during a period from five seconds before to five seconds after the photographing timing. Upon manipulation during such period, the still image is displayed. In an operation for reproducing the still image, when a moving image to be linked with the still image is available, a moving image mark M2 is displayed. Upon manipulation, the moving image is reproduced from a position of the moving image corresponding to the photographing time.
