Abstract: A moving image data processing apparatus receives input of first and second image data with a first and second frame rate respectively. The apparatus includes; an input frame rate specification unit that specifies the first and the second frame rate of the moving image data; an output frame rate specification unit that specifies output frame rates of the first and second moving image data; a playback speed specification unit that specifies same playback speed for the first and second moving image data; a frame rate conversion unit that changes a frame rate of the first moving image data based on the first frame rate, the output frame rate, and the playback speed, and changes a frame rate of the second moving image data based on the second frame rate, the output frame rate, and the playback speed; and an output unit that outputs the changed moving image data.

Abstract: An imaging device includes: an imaging unit that images an event and generates imaged data of the event; a storage unit that stores the imaged data of the event as a plurality of moving image files; a marker input unit that inputs at least a start marker representing a start of the event and an end marker representing an end of the event; and a control unit that causes marker data including the input start marker and end marker to be stored in the storage unit as a plurality of marker data files in association with the plurality of moving image files.

Abstract: When a menu image transition occurs from a first hierarchical level to a second hierarchical level and to a third hierarchical level, boundary lines B1 and B2, which are near but not in contact each other, are displayed on a display screen to divide it into three areas, R1, R2, and R3. A triangle mark is displayed in area R1 to indicate that there is a higher hierarchical level. Areas R1 and R2 allow the user to recognize that there are the first and second hierarchical levels which are higher. Information (for example, thumbnail images) corresponding to the third hierarchical level is displayed in area R3.

Abstract: A digital camera has a detachable recording medium of either a first type into and from which data can be written and erased a plurality of times or a second type into which data can be written only once. A recording switch arrangement has a first-stage switch and a second-stage switch. In cases where the recording medium is of the first type, still-picture data are written into the recording medium when the first-stage switch is actuated. In cases where the recording medium is of the second type, data representative of a still picture are captured and the still picture represented by the captured data is indicated as a preview picture when the first-stage switch is actuated. Then, the captured data are written into the recording medium provided that the second-stage switch is actuated while the first-stage switch remains actuated.
