An apparatus for producing and recording a video signal, which comprises a signal supplying device for picking up images in a picture area having a first or second aspect ratio to supply a first pickup output signal representing images in the picture area with the first aspect ratio or a second pickup output signal representing images in the picture area with the second aspect ratio. The pickup output signal is supplied to a signal processing circuit having a first condition for processing the first pickup output signal to produce a first video signal therefrom or a second condition for processing the second pickup output signal to produce a second video signal; whereafter the first or second video signal produced by the signal processing circuit is recorded on a recording medium. An operation control device controls the signal supplying device to supply the first pickup output signal while disposing the signal processing circuit in its first condition or controls the signal supplying device to supply the second pickup output signal while disposing the signal processing circuit in its second condition.
