Abstract
An image-capturing apparatus is provided having a storage control device, a writing speed measuring device, and a selecting device. The storage control device writes image data into memory devices. The writing speed measuring device measures the writing speed of the memory devices by writing dummy data into the memory devices. The selecting device compares the writing speeds of the memory devices, and selects the memory device having the fastest writing speed. The storage control device stores image data in the selected memory device.
Claims19
An image-capturing apparatus comprising:
- a storage controller that writes image data into memory devices, at least one of said memory devices being detachable from said image-capturing apparatus;
- a writing speed measurer that measures, without regard to whether writing speed is recorded on at least the detachable one of the memory devices, the writing speed of said memory devices by writing dummy data into said memory devices, said writing speed measurer measuring the writing speed of the detachable memory device;
- a selector that compares the writing speeds of said memory devices, and selects a memory device having the fastest writing speed, said writing speed measurer and said selector being utilized after existing image data in the detachable memory device is overwritten by other image data or after the image data in the detachable memory device is deleted;
- and
- said storage controller storing image data in the selected memory device.
