Abstract
A composite camera apparatus employing a video camera device, a still camera device and a strobe device. The video camera device includes an electric circuit for picking up video data and processing the video data to record a video signal on a recording medium, such as a video tape. The electric circuit of the video camera apparatus includes means, associated with a strobe device and responsive to initiation of stroboscopic flashing, for controlling the electric circuit for recording the video signal so that a predetermined number of the video data picked-up at the occurrence of stroboscopic flashing, may not be reproduced when the video signal is reproduced by means of a VTR on a video monitor.
Claims15
A composite camera apparatus comprising:
- a video camera device for picking up a video image for recording a plurality of fields of video signals to be reproduced on a video monitor;
- a still camera device for picking-up a still image for recording on a still image recording medium;
- a strobo-flashing device cooperative with said still camera device for synchronous operation for emitting a strobo-flashing light in response to a still image pick-up operation of said still camera device;
- and
- means, incorporated in said video camera device, for modifying video image data in a field of said video signal picked up at a timing of the strobo-flashing operation for avoidance of influence of high intensity light.

- a still camera device for picking up a still image for recording on a still image recording medium;
- a strobo-flashing device cooperative with said still camera device for synchronous operation for emitting strobo-flashing light in response to still image pick-up operation of said still camera device;
- and
- means, incorporated in said video camera device, for modifying video image data in a field of said video signal picked-up at a timing of the strobo-flashing operation by replacing the corresponding field of video signal with a preset dummy signal for avoidance of influence of high intensity light.

- and
- means, incorporated in said video camera device, for modifying video image data in a field of said video signal picked up at a timing of the strobo-flashing operation by lowering gain of the corresponding field of video signal for a given magnitude for avoidance of influence of high intensity light.
