Recording apparatus and method, reproducing apparatus and method, and program

摘要

The present invention relates to a recording apparatus and method, a reproducing apparatus and method, and a program that make it possible to photograph and record a still image and moving images before and after the still image as well. In step S1, when a still-image-with-moving-image photographing mode is set, moving image temporary storage is started. When a shutter is depressed in step S2, in step S3, a photographed still image is recorded and one moving image is generated from the moving image before the still image stored in step S1, a moving image obtained by converting the photographed still image, and a moving image photographed after the depression of the shutter and the one moving image generated is recorded. Therefore, the moving images before and after the still image are recorded together with a high-definition still image.

主权项

1. A recording apparatus characterized by comprising:
a setting unit configured to set a still-image-with-moving-image photographing mode; a still-image photographing unit configured to photograph a still image in response to a still-image photographing request while the still-image-with-moving-image photographing mode is set; a moving-image photographing unit configured to photograph a moving image while the still-image-with-moving-image photographing mode is set; a moving-image storage unit, which continuously buffers the moving image when the still-image-with-moving-image photographing mode is set, wherein when the moving-image storage unit is full, image data of an old frame of the moving image is deleted from the move-image storage unit and image data of a new frame is stored in the moving-image storage unit; a generating unit configured to generate an output moving image on the basis of a still image obtained as a result of the photographing by the still-image photographing unit and a moving image that has been obtained as a result of the photographing by the moving-image photographing unit and retrieved from the moving-image storage unit, wherein at least one frame that is visually distinguishable from both the still image and the moving image is provided on at least one side of the still image between the still image and the moving image to generate the output moving image; and recording unit configured to record the still image obtained as a result of the photographing by the still-image photographing unit and the output moving image generated by the generating unit.
