Abstract
Disclosed is an image recording apparatus which can re-allocate image data by removing vacant areas formed as a result of deletion when an image file is deleted from a recording medium of an image recording apparatus of a camera. The image data to be re-allocated are not limited to those in a new image file to be recorded, but include those in already recorded image files. Upon re-allocation, image data are re-allocated so that the track numbers of image files to be re-allocated on the disk sequentially increase.
Claims34
An image recording apparatus having a recording medium for recording image, comprising:
- a control unit for re-allocating image data recorded on said recording medium.
An image recording apparatus having a recording medium for recording image, comprising:
- sequential recording means for sequentially recording new image data on said recording medium;
- and
- detection means for detecting an end location of last recorded image data,
- wherein said sequential recording means records the new image data after the end location.
A method of controlling recording of image data onto a recording medium, comprising:
- the checking step of checking a start condition of re-allocation of image data;
- and
- the re-allocation step of re-allocating image data recorded on said recording medium if it is determined in the checking step that the start condition is satisfied.
A method of controlling recording of image data onto a recording medium, comprising:
- the sequential recording step of sequentially recording new image data on said recording medium;
- and
- the step of detecting an end location of last recorded image data,
- wherein the sequential recording step includes the step of recording the new image data after the end location.
A computer readable recording medium, which records a program for executing processing for re-allocating image data recorded on an image recording medium.
