Electronic still camera and image recording method thereof.

摘要

An electronic still camera includes an imaging device (20, 26), a signal conversion device (27) and a recording device (31). The imaging device (20, 26) includes a solid state imaging unit (26) and optical color filters (20) of different spectral characteristics arranged on the solid state imaging unit (26) to convert photoelectrically converting the photographed image. The signal conversion device (27) converts a signal from the imaging device into a luminance signal and two color difference signals. The recording device (31) stores image information including the luminance signal and two color difference signals into a semiconductor memory card (15).
