Imaging apparatus and video camera, and method of reproducing recorded information performed by the imaging apparatus or the video camera

摘要

A recording apparatus allows an image being recorded and an image being reproduced to be easily discriminated from each other when an already recorded image signal is reproduced while a photographed image signal is being recorded. An image signal obtained by an image pickup section is recorded on a randomly accessible recording medium, and an image signal recorded at a random location on the recording medium is capable of being reproduced while the image signal is being recorded on the recording medium. The image signal recorded at a random location on a recording medium can be reproduced while the image signal obtained by the image pickup section is being recorded. Either a first display unit or a second display unit displays a first image according to the obtained image signal while the other displays a second image according to the reproduced image signal.
