Abstract: The present invention allows still images to be recorded during moving image recording, and does not require frame data to be generated and written for all frames missed as a result of the still image recording. Thus, when the recording of a still image is instructed during moving image recording, the moving image recording is interrupted, and the number of moving image frames missed during the still image recording is counted. The still image obtained by an image sensing device is shot, and the shot still image data is stored on a memory card. Next, a pseudo moving image frame is generated from the still image data and appended to the interrupted moving image file. Moving image recording is then resumed. Offsets are adjusted at this time so that the counted missing frames point to the pseudo frame.
