Medical image recording device

A medical image recording device that shoots by putting, on a body of an operator conducting medical treatment, an image pickup device that includes at least an optical lens and an image pickup element which generates an image pickup signal by photoelectrically converting light introduced from a subject via the optical lens during shooting, the medical image recording device comprising:

• an image pickup control unit that controls in such a way as to display, on a display unit, a video from image data that is generated for each of frames that constitute the video based on the image pickup signal;
• an information recording unit that sequentially records the image data;
• an acceleration sensor that detects movement of the image pickup device;
• a first movement detection unit that calculates an amount of movement of the image pickup device based a detection signal of the acceleration sensor;
• a camera shake correction unit that controls in such a way as to cancel a blur in the video caused by the movement corresponding to the amount of movement calculated by the first movement detection unit;
• a second movement detection unit that sequentially compares the image data between consecutive or adjacent frames, and calculates an amount of movement of the image pickup device from a positional shift of a main subject between the frames;
• and
• a recording control unit that controls stopping of the recording of the image data when the amount of movement calculated by the second movement detection unit is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value.
