Abstract
In an image pickup apparatus capable of mounting a media card 101 having a nonvolatile memory and a communication circuit, when image data of a captured image is transmitted to an external, the image data corresponding to a data length of a packet is stored in the nonvolatile memory of the media card, and the image data is sent to the communication circuit 103 of the media card and divided into a plurality of packets to be transmitted to the external. When transmission of the image data is aborted, the image data still not stored in the nonvolatile memory is stored in the nonvolatile memory.
Claims24
An image pickup apparatus comprising:
- connection means for connecting a card;
- and
- transferring means for transferring captured image data to both transmission means and a memory provided in the card such that the captured image data is transferred to the memory while the captured image data is transmitted from the transmission means,
- wherein said transferring means transfers the captured image data in data length in accordance with whether the captured image data is transferred to the transmission means or not when the captured image data is transferred to the memory.
A method of transferring image data of an image pickup apparatus having connection means for connecting a card, comprising steps of:
- taking an image and generating image data;
- and
- transferring the image data to both transmission means and a memory provided in the card such that the captured image data is transferred to the memory while the captured image data is transmitted from the transmission means,
- wherein said transferring step transfers the captured image data in data length in accordance with whether the captured image data is transferred to the transmission means or not when the captured image data is transferred to the memory.
A storage medium storing a program for transferring image data of an image pickup apparatus having connection means for connecting a card, the program comprising steps of:
- taking an image and generating image data;
- and
- transferring the image data to both transmission means and a memory provided in the card such that the captured image data is transferred to the memory while the captured image data is transmitted from the transmission means,
- wherein said transferring step transfers the captured image data in data length in accordance with whether the captured image data is transferred to the transmission means or not when the captured image data is transferred to the memory.
