  • Patent number: 6473569
    Abstract: A camera that records image data generated by electronically capturing an image of a subject in a removable memory, includes: a non-volatile memory that differs from the removable memory in which the image data are recorded, and a main MPU that saves management information related to recording or reproduction in the removable memory into the non-volatile before power to the camera is cut off, reads out the management information from the non-volatile memory after the power to the camera is turned on, and recovers the management information stored before the power is cut off based on the management information read out by the main MPU, the management information being generated based on information read out from the removable memory.
