Abstract
In a still picture recording apparatus such as an electronic still camera, an audio signal compressed in its time base is recorded on a magnetic disk together with a video signal. In order to relate the timing of recording the audio signal to that of the video signal, the audio signal to be recorded is processed in an audio signal processing circuit in response to the manipulation of a manual switch, and the video signal to be recorded is processed in a video signal processing circuit after a required delay time relative to the audio signal, so that the audio signal and the video signal can be recorded in matching relation without the possibility of mismanipulation and without the need for troublesome recording procedures.
Claims6
A still picture recording apparatus, comprising:
- a video signal processing circuit receiving a video input signal of a still picture and converting the input signal into an FM video signal;
- an audio signal processing circuit receiving an audio input signal pertinent to said video signal and compressing the time base of the audio input signal;
- a magnetic head means and a magnetic disk on which output signals of said video signal processing circuit and said audio signal processing circuit are recorded by said magnetic head means;
- and
- a control circuit connected to a manual switch for actuating said audio signal processing circuit from the time of actuation of said manual switch and actuating said video signal processing circuit at a time delayed by a predetermined period relative to the time of actuation of said manual switch.
