Electronic still camera capable of editing picture recorded on disk

摘要

An electronic camera for shooting an object to store a still picture of the object in a first rotary magnetic recording medium in the form of video signals includes a driving device for turning the first rotary magnetic recording medium which is detachably mounted, and a recording device for recording video signals of a unit of still picture on the first rotary magnetic recording medium while rotating. The electronic still camera further includes a first terminal for receiving video signals of still picture read out from a second rotary magnetic recording medium, a second terminal for receiving a control signal in response to a reading operation of the video signals from the second rotary magnetic recording medium, and a control device for controlling the driving device and the recording device. The control device causes the first rotary magnetic recording medium to be turned in response to the control signal received on the second terminal so as to record a unit of video signals of still picture received on the first terminal on the first magnetic recording medium in response to the control signal.
