Abstract: In the disclosed picture recording device, an image pick-up arrangement converts an optical image into electric picture information and stores the information. A recording arrangement reads out the electric picture information on the image pick-up arrangement and records the information. A power supply control controls the power supply to the recording arrangement and a memory holds the electric picture information formed on the image pick-up arrangement at the start of the supply of power by the power supply control to the recording arrangement. This allows image information immediately to be picked up when the camera is turned on during the power up of the various camera circuits and thus avoids the loss of image information during the rise time.
