<p>An electronic still camera includes an image sensor for capturing an original image and generating image signals corresponding to the captured original image, an A/D converter for converting the image signals into original digital image data representative of the captured original image, an image processor for incrementally processing the original digital image data to generate processed image data as each increment is processed and completed, and a non-volatile memory for storing the processed image data, wherein the non-volatile memory also temporarily stores the original digital image data until the incremental processing is completed. The incremental processing of the original image data can then be interrupted in order to capture a new image, while the processed image data for the completed increments of the original image is saved in the non-volatile memory. <IMAGE></p> |
