Image pickup device and control method thereof

摘要

An image pickup device capable of processing a high-resolution image appropriately is provided. The image pickup device includes an imaging sensor for taking an image and a plurality of main processors for encoding segmented images obtained by dividing the image taken by the image sensor spatially. Encoded files are obtained by encoding the segmented images and further recorded in a plurality of memory cards corresponding to the main processors, respectively. In these main processors, a first processor creates the encoded file so as to contain a thumbnail image of the image.
