PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To record data of high quality right after a recording instruction is inputted, even when the recording of data is started during reception of the data. SOLUTION: The received image frame is inputted temporarily to a temporary storage part 25 and the received frame equivalent to the latest single-macro cycle are always held in the midst of radio visual telephone communication carried out at a cellular phone terminal according to MPEG-4 standards. When an image recording operation is started under such conditions, the received frames equivalent to a single-macro cycle held at the part 25 right before the image recording operation is started and the image frames received after the image recording operation is started are transferred to a main recording part 26 and recorded there. When an image compression recording mode is set, a pseudo-I frame is reconfigured on the basis of the macro blocks of P frames equivalent to a single-macro cycle, held at the part 25, and this pseudo-I frame is stored in the storage part 26. |
