Abstract
An image capture apparatus consists of an image capture sensor for capturing a current image, a memory bank for storing image data, and a memory controller. The memory bank contains two or more memory units, which store copies of images captured by the sensor. The memory controller stores newly captured images in at least two of the memory units, thus creating one or more backup copies of the image data.
