DATA RECORDING DEVICE

摘要

A digital camera (10) includes the CPU (46). When power is on, the CPU (46) determines a recording unused area based on an FAT recorded on a magnetooptic disk (44). Compressed image data produced based on a shutter button (48) operation is recorded in the determined unused area. A successful recording updates an FAT. A failure to record due to a defective magnetooptic disk (44) will display a message on a monitor (28). When a set key (50) is operated after the message displaying, a write-protect is permitted on the disk (44).
