Image reproducing apparatus and image control method

An image reproducing apparatus for use with a system that records a still picture on a first recording medium and moving picture on a second, different recording medium and that records simultaneous shooting information on both recording media when simultaneously shooting and recording an image on the first recording medium as the still picture is performed during shooting and recording of the moving picture on the second, different recording medium, said simultaneous shooting information indicating that simultaneously shooting and recording of the image on said first recording medium as the still picture is performed during shooting and recording of the moving picture on said second, different recording medium, said image reproducing apparatus comprising:

• a controller for controlling reproduction of the moving pictures recorded on the second, different recording medium in accordance with the simultaneous shooting information, wherein
• the image simultaneously shot and recorded on the first recording medium as the still picture during shooting and recording the moving picture on the second different recording medium is recorded during, but separately from and in a different manner than recording of the moving picture so that the moving picture is recorded on the second recording medium as a compressed moving image and the still picture is recorded on the first recording medium as a high-quality image.
