Abstract: A pixel signal outputted from an image pickup device in a standard image pickup region of a solid-state image device and a pixel signal outputted from an image pickup device in a camera shake correction region are written into a first memory and a second memory alternately for each screen. By adjusting the number of lines of a video signal upon reading out a signal from the memory, a moving image is outputted as a wide angle image. Further, by outputting all line signals in the memory, a wider angle still image is obtained.

Abstract: When a still picture information is recorded on the recording medium 7 while a moving picture information is recorded by the VTR 6, a still picture information to be recorded can be confirmed and recorded by displaying the still picture information to be recorded in a sub picture frame on the screen of the viewfinder 8, which displays the moving picture information currently recorded.

Abstract: Charges are read out from a CCD n (where n is an integer or greater) times within 1 field period, under the control of a controller. Under the control of a memory controller, a VTR records the n images as a video signal for 1 field, based on the readout charges. When playing back, under control of the memory controller, the video signal for 1 field, which is read out from the VTR and which includes n images, is temporarily stored in a memory. The memory controller reads out the n images from the memory in time sequence, and displays each image on a display m (where m is an integer 1 or greater) times during period of m fields, thereby performing slow playback at a playback speed of 1/(n×m). Along with a video signal for each field, the VTR records information with regard to the number n of the images and the display positions thereof.

Abstract: In an apparatus for detecting amounts of relative motion of a picture expressed by a digital video signal, between successive fields of the signal, a fixed set of picture element positions are designated as respective representative points in each field of the video signal. For each representative point, the signal level value for that point during a preceding field is compared with each of a successive of picture element values in the current field, within a corresponding comparison interval which extends prior to and subsequent to the position of that representative point in the field.

Abstract: A video signal processing circuit of a single chip color camera including a color separation filter for performing a color separation on incident light passing therethrough so as to output color separated light, a solid state pickup device for picking up the color separated light passed through the color separation filter and outputting a video signal, main circuit means for generating a first luminance signal, a second luminance signal, a first color difference signal, and a second color difference signal from the video signal, compensating signal generating means for obtaining a compensation signal from the first and second color difference signals, operational means for applying the compensation signal to the first luminance signal to produce as output luminance signal, and color temperature detection means for detecting a color temperature of the incident light and outputting a DC control voltage so as to determine the compensation signal.
