A photographing apparatus and a method of controlling the photographing apparatus for restricting bandwidth use of a memory in the photographing apparatus when a still image is captured during recording a motion picture. The method including outputting image data from an imaging device; interpolating the image data and storing the result as motion picture data in a memory; encoding the motion picture data in the memory; determining if a request to take a still image is received; when a request for a still image is received, substantially stopping the encoding of the motion picture data in the memory while continuing the outputting, interpolating and storing, and storing the image data in the memory as the still image; and after storing the still image is complete, restarting the encoding of the motion picture data in the memory.
