  • Patent number: 6009233
    Abstract: A camera having a digital video tape recorder integrated therein establishes various camera settings in preparation of imaging a video image, images the video image so as to produce a video signal, generates camera setting data which identifies the various camera settings (e.g., iris setting, shutter speed, white balance mode and focusing mode) that were established for imaging the video image, and records the video signal in a first location of a track on a record medium, e.g., a magnetic tape, and records the camera setting data in a second location of the track on the record medium. When the video signal and camera setting data are reproduced from the record medium, display data is generated from the reproduced camera setting data and is output along with the video signal so as to allow a user to modify (i.e., process) the video signal using the stored camera setting data.
