Image recording/reproducing apparatus and control method thereof

摘要

An image recording/reproducing apparatus and control method thereof is disclosed. If the mode shifts to the power-off mode, data loss at the temporary recording area can be avoided. Also, management and control of the recording device such as hard disk drive (HDD) becomes easier, and data management becomes more efficient. Additionally, any inability to edit recorded image/sound signals due to a shortage in capacity of the HDD can be prevented. System booting error can be avoided, and system stabilization is guaranteed, and a greater amount of space of the HDD can be efficiently utilized.
