Abstract

Apparatus for recording a still image includes an input unit for repeatedly receiving video signals representative of a still image, a memory capable of storing video signal data of at least one picture frame of the received video signals, a control unit for controlling the writing into and reading out of the memory, and a recorder for recording the video signal data read out of the memory on a picture recording medium in the form of a visual image. The control unit performs a plural number of cyclic operations of storing the video signals received by the input unit in the memory timed with the operation of the input unit, and reading out the stored video signal data timed with the operation of the recorder, such that the same still image is superimposed on the picture recording medium by the operation of the recorder.
