Device and method for taking picture while recording moving picture

A method for taking a still picture while recording a moving picture, in a device having a take-while-record setting unit for storing information necessary for taking the still picture while recording the moving picture, the method comprising the steps of:

• during the recording of the moving picture, detecting input of a picture-taking command;
• upon detection of the input of the picture-taking command, comparing whether a picture being recorded has the same size as a size of the still picture previously set to the take-while-record setting unit;
• if the picture being recorded has the same size as the previously set size of the still picture, memorizing a position where a corresponding record picture is recorded as a moving picture;
• and
• after recording is finished, searching the memorized position of the recorded picture for the corresponding recorded picture, decoding the searched record picture, and displaying the still picture on a screen.

• if the picture being recorded has the same size as the previously set size of the still picture, storing the same in a memory, and if the picture being recorded has a different size from the previously set size of the still picture, adjusting a camera sensor to take the still picture based on a value set in the take-while-record setting unit, capturing the still picture, and storing the captured picture in the memory;
• and
• after recording is finished, reading and decoding the still picture stored in the memory, and displaying the decoded still picture on a screen.
