Abstract: There are provided an imaging apparatus and a video camera which allow an image being recorded and an image being reproduced to be easily discriminated from each other when an already recorded image signal is reproduced while a photographed image signal is being recorded. A recording section records an image signal obtained by an image pickup section on a randomly accessible recording medium, and a reproducing section is capable of reproducing an image signal recorded at a random location on the recording medium while the image signal is being recorded on the recording medium by the recording section. The recording section and the reproducing section are controlled such that the image signal recorded at a random location on the recording medium can be reproduced while the image signal obtained by the image pickup section is being recorded.

Abstract: A recording/playback apparatus records data and contents management information of the data on a randomly accessible recording medium, or plays back the data and contents management information from the recording medium. Upon changing the contents of group management information required to group arbitrary data independently of a file system, and management information, the contents of a playlist indicating a playback sequence of the data are changed. Upon creating a playlist, group management information corresponding to that playlist is automatically created, and a data list to be referred to by the playlist is updated.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a first recording unit which records image data on a first recording medium, a second recording unit which records the image data on a second recording medium, and a control unit which controls the first recording unit and second recording unit to record the image data representing a series of contents on the first recording medium and subsequently on the second recording medium, and generate identification information indicating that the image data is divisionally recorded image data which is divisionally recorded on the first recording medium and second recording medium and record the identification information on the first recording medium and the second recording medium. With this arrangement, even when only one of the recording media is played back, the user can easily recognize that the series of contents are divisionally recorded on different recording media.

Abstract: The present invention provides a recording apparatus having a recorder that records information signals pertaining to broadcast programs received from a receiver onto a recording medium, a setting device that sets a repetitive recording reservation program specifying recording of a broadcast program at each predetermined time interval, and a controller that determines whether or not information signals previously recorded onto the recording medium in accordance with the repetitive recording reservation program have already been reproduced by a reproduction device, and if so causes the recorder to erase the previously recorded information signals and records information signals of a current broadcast, and if not causes the recorder to record the information signals of the current program without erasing the previously recorded information signals.

Abstract: A recording apparatus of the present invention includes a management information processing portion for generating management information describing a reproducing procedure for reproducing a series of information data by designating positions of from a head to an end of the series of information data recorded during a period of from an instruction of a record start to an instruction of a record stop at the time of a recording operation of moving image data to a recording medium, a playlist processing portion for selecting a part of the series of information data in accordance with a predetermined condition at the time of the recording operation of the information data to generate the series of information data, and a recording portion for recording the management information and the playlist information on the recording medium.

Abstract: An image sensing apparatus having a function of correcting vibration of an image limits operation of a vibration correction unit in correspondence with the ratio of the correction amount as an output from the vibration correction unit to the maximum correction range of that unit.

Abstract: A vibration correction apparatus has a motion vector detection circuit for detecting a motion vector signal at a predetermined sampling period, a signal processing circuit for calculating a correction target value in accordance with the motion vector signal detected by the motion vector detection circuit, a correction system for correcting a motion in accordance with the correction target value, and a control circuit for generating a new correction target value through interpolation of the correction target value, shortening a correction period of correction by the correction system shorter than a sampling period of the motion vector, and making the period of correction by the correction system variable with each image pickup system.

Abstract: An image reproducing arrangement reproduces plural segments of moving image data showing a series of moving images from a recording medium and arbitrarily designates a reproduction start position in selected moving image data of the plural moving image data segments. Plural representative images corresponding to the plural moving image data segments are displayed on the same screen. An indicator is displayed on the screen that is moved to indicate the designated reproduction start position in the selected moving image data at a predetermined position associated with the position where a representative image of the selected moving image data is displayed. The reproduction is controlled to reproduce the selected moving image data from the designated reproduction start position.

Abstract: An image sensing apparatus which hinders execution of vibration cancellation control when an image is sensed with a high-magnification lens, by suppressing vibration cancellation control. Movement of the image sensing apparatus generated purposefully by a user is reflected upon the sensed image without unexpected moving compensation by the vibration cancellation control.
