A photographing apparatus capable of automatically setting the compression ratio and a method thereof. The photographing apparatus has a digital video camera (DVC) unit, a DVC signal processing block to output digital motion picture data, first and second compression units to compress the digital motion picture data into a first and second format data. The apparatus also has a first and second recording media to store the first and second compressed data, a recording medium selecting switch unit to select one of the first or the second recording media, and a control unit to control the transmission of the digital motion picture data one of the first or the second compression units. As a result, the storage space of the recording medium can be used more efficiently, and the user is not inconvenienced by having to set the appropriate compression method every time he or she selects a camera or a recording medium.
