Before a moving image is picked up, a data write speed of set recording media 20 is measured or acquired (steps S 2 -S 5, S 6 ). The speed performance of the recording media (represented by "high", "medium" and "low") is determined based on the measured or acquired data write speed (step S 7 ). In the moving-image pickup, when the determined write speed performances are low, medium and high, respectively, control passes to a buffer data lump recording mode, a ring buffer recording mode and a stream recording mode, respectively, and then the moving-image data is recorded on recording media 20 in different moving-image recording methods (steps S 11, S 12 and S 13 ), respectively. Thus, the settable upper limit of recording quality need not be set to that of recording media having low write speed performance.
