A digital still camera includes a shutter button. When the shutter button is depressed, the image data from a CCD imager is held in a VRAM. The image data is then compressed according to a JPEG format, and written into a flash memory. In parallel with the writing of the image data to the flash memory, the VRAM is written with sound data, for example, of 6 seconds related to the image data. A flag is set during writing the sound data, and the flag is reset when the writing is ended. Determination for an end of a sound process is made based on a data of this flag. After ending the sound process, the sound data written in the VRAM is compressed and then written into the flash memory. Thereafter, the image data left in the VRAM is recompressed as required. <IMAGE> |
