Claims6
A recording and reproducing apparatus which records an information signal on a recording medium and reproduces the information signal recorded on the recording medium, said apparatus comprising:
- recording/reproducing means for recording the information signal on the recording medium and reproducing the information signal recorded on the recording medium;
- memory means for storing information corresponding to the information signal recorded on said recording medium by said recording/reproducing means, in a state that an operation mode of said apparatus is a recording mode;
- and
- control means for controlling operations of said recording/reproducing means so as to reproduce, as a single image, the immediately previously recorded information signal recorded on the recording medium on the basis of the information stored in said memory means, in response to a shift of the operation mode of said apparatus from the recording mode to a reproducing mode.
A recording and reproducing apparatus which records still image information on a recording medium and reproduces the still image information recorded on the recording medium, said apparatus comprising:
- recording/reproducing means for recording the still image information on the recording medium and reproducing the still image information recorded on the recording medium;
- memory means for storing information corresponding to the still image information recorded on said recording medium by said recording/reproducing means, in a state that an operation mode of said apparatus is a recording mode;
- and
- control means for controlling operations of said recording/reproducing means so as to reproduce, as a single image, the immediately previously recorded still image information recorded on the recording medium on the basis of said information stored in said memory means, in response to a shift of the operation mode of said apparatus from the recording mode to a reproducing mode.
