Image recording apparatus and image reproducing apparatus

Abstract

In this image recording apparatus, imaging sensor obtains two video signals of different signal charge accumulation periods, in a given signal charge accumulation period which is represented by a field or a frame of a video signal, and the two video signals are recorded on a record medium, whereby a video signal of an object having a wide luminance distribution can be recorded,and as for the image reproducing apparatus, a correcting circuit corrects standard-illuminance video information and high-illuminance video information which are reproduced by a reproducing circuit, the user designates an object illuminance range to be output, through an object illuminance range designating circuit, and a level converter converts the luminance into a luminance level which can be output by a display apparatus or a printer, thereby allowing portions which are largely different in object illuminance, to be selectively displayed or output in reproduction.
