PURPOSE: An image pick-up apparatus is provided which can achieve a decrease in cost and in circuit size and a decrease in dissipation power. CONSTITUTION: In a recording mode, YUV data of one frame output at a given period from a YUV signal processing circuit (11) is periodically written to a DRAM (14) through a DRAM transfer route via a DMA(Direct Access Memory) controller (12). The writing-in of YUV data of one frame is done by a predetermined map. The DMA controller allows YUV data which is periodically developed onto the DRAM to be read out/output from the YUV signal processing circuit to a video encoder (15) in a way to correspond to the image map. Thus, in accordance with the periodic updating, on the DRAM of image information picked up by a CCD(Charge Coupled Device) (6), the video encoder creates a video signal on the basis of automatically updated information and a current image can be displayed on a display device (16) without using a VRAM controller and VRAM.
