An apparatus for inputting and outputting the optical image of a scene with means for compressing and expanding the electrical video signals of the optical image. Electrical video signals of the optical image are produced. A buffer memory temporarily stores the electrical video signals. A digital encoder encodes the electrical video signals to produce NTSC or PAL signals displayed on a television set, monitor, or color liquid crystal display (LCD). A compression/expansion circuit compresses or expands the electrical video signals to produce compressed or expanded image data. A memory card stores the compressed image data, and a microprocessor controls the operation of the apparatus. Thus, the electrical video signals are compressed or expanded to be permanently stored in the memory card as the image data or transferred to the digital encoder as recovered video signals.
