MOVING PICTURE RECORDING APPARATUS AND PICTURE RECORDING APPARATUS

摘要

A technique by which whole and closeup high-quality moving pictures can be easily photographed, recorded and reproduced. An imaging unit (10) picks up an image at a higher resolution than a resolution of pixels for moving picture recording. An image processing unit (12) converts the resolution of an original image obtained by picking up the image into a whole image of the pixels for moving picture recording, while generating a partial image of the pixels for moving picture recording from a part of the original image. A whole moving picture comprising the whole images and a partial moving picture composed of the partial images are recorded in association with each other.
